:: Ward 56, Bed 14 ::

Right..I can't believe im writing this in NUH..at ward 56, Bed 14.
Im tapping on NUS network. Thank goodness there is connection or else i'll be bored to death.

Ok..so u wanna know what happened?

It began with a simple goal. To go for the check-up which my bro's specialist suggested.
You see, my bro was disgnosed with a congenital heart disease called Marfan Syndrome..and its hereditary. Hence, the specialist would like us to come for a check-up. And so that's what i did. ( more info on the syndrome - http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4672)

Little did i know that my ECG reading turned out ABNORMAL. The doc explained to me...but..hmm...i can't really explain it here. He warded me and put me under observation for 24 hours..in order to gather more info. It may or may not be a life threatening issue... I may seem fine now but its hard to say. So they would like to find out the cause and do a risk assessment for me. And so that's why I'm here.

They hook me up with a portable equipment which i duno what it is called. Anyway, it is supposed to monitor my heart for 24 hours...I can walk around coz its wireless!! SO cool!

I thought after the 24 hours monitoring, they would conclude and discharge me today. But little did i know, the consultant who specialised in heart rythm told me they found some extra "thingy" on my 2 lower chambers of my heart. it could be potentially dangerous. oh..its called the "PVC"...Dont ask me what does it stand for. They would like me to go thru ultrasound and MRI testing... They wanna see if my heart is normal...So this means,,,I have to stay for another day!!!!

Boring!!!

Oh..and the best thing is...they said this could be a standalone case!! Not related to the Marfan syndrome! Which means that i have to come back again to go thru the Marfan Syndrome testing next time. Hmm...but then again, it could well be related...coz my bro has an abnormal ECG too!

Oh well...i dunno...Just hope everything will be fine.
