I figured since I promised that I will share about my experience on the heart procedure in my SVT post, I shall keep my promise! (My previous post on SVT is here)
Most of you who have been following me on Dayre (@bobostephanie) should already know that I went for the heart procedure on the 2nd of Dec.
I would say it was one of the most memorable/unforgettable experiences in my life! The experience was all filled with pain and more pain hahha
I admit, my tolerance for pain is ZERO. I don’t dare to pierce my ears just because I’m scared of pain hahhaa. You should be able to tell how low my pain tolerance is.
So after my previous visit to my cardiologist I decided to just go ahead with the procedure! I hate eating pills, and they didn’t really help, but I truly hate the palpitations the most! My dr was like, “Ok, then when u want to do it? Next week?” I was like “Woo hold on, next week too soon! How about 2nd? He was like, “Booked”
I remember asking my Dr if he would put me to sleep? He says no cox if u’re asleep we cant detect the palpitations 0.0. I was like GONE…
After everything was booked, I was like, “Am I ready for this?” We’ll I guess so… I’m that type of person who only gets nervous at the last moment.
The day before the procedure, I couldn’t sleep and I was so afraid! I kept telling Jo maybe I should just cancel it and eat meds forever! Obviously I didn’t la!
The day came quickly, and the moment after I checked in, that’s when the reality hit me! I was lying in the bed and I was like ,”Im scared, scared scared!” I keep imaging how painful it will be and all! I checked in at 9am, then they delivered breakfast to my room. The nurse told me I have to start fasting at 10am! I finished up my breakfast and the staff nurse came in and started taking my blood pressure and drew some blood to test. That’s when I realized its not just a simple procedure like everyone said.
An hour later they gave me a new towel, shampoo and a hospital gown to change into. They told me I should shower and get ready at 12pm cox my procedure is at 2pm. I was told to use only the shampoo they provided which made my hair really, really dry and frizzy lol
