I have to wear leads right below my right collar bone, and right below my left breast. (the picture above is a Holter Monitor, and I am wearing a different kind and that is why there are so many more cords than I really have, I only have 2)
So this is what is going down. My doctor doesn't like that sound of my heart. Words straight from her mouth. I was kinda offended, and wanted to be like,,, "WELL,,,,I DON'T LIKE YOUR HAIR STYLE!!" But she had nice hair, so I didn't really say anything. But she said that it would be better if I wore a heart monitor to see what my heart was doing, and what was up with its crazy activities.
I have to wear these sticky things that are what stick to my skin and attach the leads(aka the wires). And lets just say, that I won't be surprised to see circle shaped scars by the end of this trial. The things are burning holes in my skin!!! I have perfectly round golf ball size blisters/open sores, where the sticky things are supposed to go... and let me tell you what ladies and gentlemen, it stings like a MOTHA!!. and I can't do anything about it because I need to keep it on, so it can catch what is going wrong, so that the doctors will be able to figure out what is wrong with me!
All in all, i just want all of this heart business to be figured out, and everything to be ok. I am kind of scared, I have had problems with my heart before, and I hope it is nothing bigger and scarier.
But for now, I have this rockin new necklace and at work, my friends have started to call me "Iron Woman" (because of the whole heart issue and being part bionic for the time being, plus I have quite a thing for Mr. Tony Stark....mmmmmmmm)
Awesome Eric from my work drew me this picture the first day that I had to wear my monitor, it really cheered me up, cause I was kind of bummed that I have to wear it for 30 days... bleh.
but isn't it AWESOME?!?!?
(oh and awesome Spencer did the inking for it...No Spencer I didn't forget you.. :0) )
