I had like two tests in my classes lately and that kept me busy as well.
Also I don’t know think many of you have heard, but a couple of weeks ago I went in for a physical examination to see if I was fit for marriage I suppose. Well there we discussed getting an echocardiogram as I had an irregular heart flap rhythm as a child and was suppose to follow up on in every 10 years. I waited a while to get one as to save some money and see about my potential employers insurance policy. Well I found out that it’d be just as much with Deloitte’s insurance as it would be with mine, so went ahead and received one last Friday. Basically it is just an ultrasound on your heart. Here’s the best picture I could find:
Well they said it wouldn’t be until Monday that I got the results seeing if anything was wrong with my heart, so I got a call yesterday while at work and had to go meet with the doctor immediately over at the hospital. This was a little worrisome, but went over to the hospital anyway.
When I finally got there I had to wait briefly until the doctor was able to go over the results with me. Basically he told me I have a heart disease called noncompaction cardiomyopathy. It basically means that part of my heart didn’t grow from birth, and that I have (not really a surprise) susceptibility to fatigue and breathlessness and shouldn’t do extreme physical exercise. It also means I am more susceptible to dying all of sudden. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.
Anyway I’m fine, a little worried, but will hopefully be o.k. I wish I could put up a picture of my heard since we are all about posting creepy things on our blogs, but don’t have a scanner unfortunately.
