I'm Alive!

Written by Sashimi on April 23, 2009
As nobody knew (Including me), I had Ventricular Tachycardia for the last few years.

"Ventricular tachycardia (V-tach or VT) is a tachycardia, or fast heart rhythm that originates in one of the ventricles of the heart. This is a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia because it may lead to ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. Although less common, some forms of this arrhythmia appear benign, especially in young individuals."

That basically means that I have 3 nerves in my heart instead of 2, which sends out an irregularly fast blood pressure rate of 220 BPM, whereas the norm is 60-80.

Suddenly last month, I had to be rushed to the ER because my heart started beating extremely fast, and that was when I found out about my condition.

So yesterday I underwent an 8 hour surgery to burn this 3rd nerve off (Wearing scrubs is embarrasing!). I was told that doctors put tubes into veins in my thigh, led them up to my heart, and burned off the nerve using electricity... Its a good thing I was asleep, it mightve hurt :D

Anyways, after the surgery, i felt horrible. I could barely walk around without feeling like throwing up. The male nurse told me that this was a normal reaction for patients after long surgeries; this was when i felt indignant towards shows like House, Scrubs, etc. They never show the after-effects of surgery!

Anyways, sorry for my un-mmorpg related blog, I just needed to blog something :D

Don't worry about your blog not being related to MMOs. And, uh, glad you're okay.

THIS WAS A TRIUMPH.
I'M MAKING A NOTE HERE:
HUGE SUCCESS.
IT'S HARD TO OVERSTATE MY SATISFACTION.
APERTURE SCIEN- Wait a minute, this is heart surgery, not physics.

Wow, I am glad that all turned out okay. You never think about these kinds of conditions until you have someone tell you they have it.

It was probably all a massive fabrication by your conspiring doctors to cut out a part of you so they could make sashimi.

Give a man a match, he stays warm for a minute. Set a man on fire, he stays warm forever.

Sounds like something out of a movie.
Anyways, good that you're all right.
