I have had over four hours in the hospital this morning being checked over to
find out if I need a pacemaker or not.
The main doctor has said that they cant seem to find what is causing the blackouts
but he didn't want me to have a pacemaker just yet until they have done some more
tests on me so its been suggested that I have a recorder in place of the pacemaker
to find out exactly what is happening when things go amiss.
The recorder is about as big as a memory stick that is used in computers.
I will also be issued with a tiny machine that hubby will have to put over the
recorder IF I have another blackout session.
He will have to press a button on the tiny machine that will transfer from the
recorder what is happening to me during one of these bouts.
If I do have another blackout or funny turn we have to notify the hospital straight away.
I will also have to use it if I have palpitations to monitor them.
I will have to go back to have the recorder checked every three months.
IF after two years of having the recorder inserted it shows up blips
in my heartbeat they will then replace the recorder with a pacemaker.
Gawd!!!!!!!!! Never a dull moment.
