Hospital again...

So this morning I got THREE calls from the hospital. I had to book a carotid ultrasound, another ECG (electrocardiogram), and I have to go to a stroke prevention clinic on Thursday.

I have no idea why the extra testing is being done, I don't even know who ordered it.

So tonight I had a carotid ultrasound, which is an ultrasound of the carotid arteries on your neck. I have no idea if anything was wrong with it because the technician didn't tell me anything.

At 7:15 tomorrow morning I have another ECG, which is where they stick about 10 sticky things on your body (mostly your chest) and monitor your heart. I don't know why they have to redo this test because no one is telling me anything.

I'm guessing that I actually find out what's going on when I have my stroke prevention clinic on Thursday, as I had to have all my testing done before then.

I'm thinking that they either found something abnormal in my previous tests OR they still have no idea what it is so they ordered more testing. Regardless it's terrifying! :(

And my ultrasound technician was kind of an ass. Other than not telling me anything he kept jamming his ultrasound thing really hard into my jaw. NEWSFLASH! My jaw is made of bone! You cannot push through it!
