Default Back in the Hospital =(

Well yea i went back into the hospital this Wednesday. I was watching tv and when i turned it off to go into my room i felt my left hand numb and couldnt talk. So luckly my dad was there and he called 911. I was taken to the hopsital where i regained my speech. I apparently had a TIA which is a small mini stroke. After sitting in the waiting room for hours they finally gave me a room upstairs. SO i was there all day yesterday when the cardiologist came in. I had stopped by to take an echocardiogram done (sonogram of heart). When he came in he explained what happen and that it was possibly due to my heart not functioning right. And that thats why i was getting tired all the time. He said my heart is opperating at 25-30%. He was gonna put me on some blood thinner and some other heart medication to help me feel better. Thats all they can do for now. He said hopefully the medicine will help me feel better. HE also suggested that i take a refferal to the heart transplant clinic. He said its something i could start looking at as a posibility in about 10-20 years. BUt if i do I should start looking into it now so i could get on the list soon. So yea Thats it for now. Till the next update.

PS: i got internet at home!! so i'll be online more often.

Wow man... I'm super glad you went home then! I hope all goes well... just be super careful when you're on blood thinner, and if you get any sudden, unexplained intense headaches, talk to a doctor ASAP... But I'm sure that wont happen

I wish you well man, and when you come back down to SB, we'll have a blast of a party set up for you!

I would also try to get a second opinion just to be sure it's as they say.
