For those who don't know this past week has been pretty intense and eye opening for us as a family. On wednesday I was out of the house before 7am and on my way to Heath Hospital to have a surgical procedure to fix a heart defect that is the cause of electrical misfires in my heart, making it race from 70 beats per minute to 200+ in a split second, something I have found hard to cope with for the past 3 years. I am not going to lie I was terrified, especially since I would have to be awake the whole time but with a 95% cure rate if you have two of the three of pathways affected it always felt like the right thing to do. Unfortunately after nearly two hours into the procedure they could confirm my pathway (the third one) is located in an area considered high-risk and would involve piercing the heart to get to, this meant having come all this way, lying on the table with wires around my heart to be delivered the blow that on this occasion they could not fix the problem.......
