loop-de-loo

it looks as though everything comes full circuit (ha, no pun intended...) cardio related. today was my follow up cardio appointment and, after looking over everything, and considering the newer symptoms that have begun causing the chest pain, my doc is convinced it's all electrical.

cool.

the problem with that? well. we thought we had covered, and FIXED, everything electrical.

that being the case...i go in friday to discuss this bad boy:

it's called an 'implantable loop recorder'. fancy, huh? haha. it's a quick, easy, relatively simple surgery. that lil sucker goes into a doctor-made pocket in my upper chest, just beneath my left collar bone. it'll hang out there for....weeks, months, even years if needed. it's like a 24/7, 365 EKG (electrocardiogram). i'd go in every few weeks or month and have everything downloaded and looked at. if i have symptoms i can go in earlier.

that's just 1 doctor's recommendations. it'll ultimately come down to the discretion of my EP (electrophysiologist. he's like an electrician for my heart).

so, who knows?

either way...i'm ready to get back (ok, ready to start) feeling good.
