Hospital Adventure!

Well I had an awesome last week!! So let me break it down a little and explain. So about a month to two months ago I found out I have a hole in my heart. I have been going to a Neurologist for my migraines and had a series of tests and I found that out in one of the tests. Well I guess a lot of people are born with one, but by the time their around two it should close on its own. Well mine hadn't and had been causing some problems. So anyways I had a few tests done here and the cardiologist here thought I was fine and didn't need to do anything. But my Neurologist wanted a second opinion so had me go to this appointment on Monday last week in SLC to see this heart specialist. Well I get there and do this test and find out that I am at the highest risk level and could have a stroke at any time!!! Yeah.. good news right? So he says why wait to have a stroke and possibly be paralyzed from it? So he said we are going to close that hole tomorrow. So yeah lots of fun, I went into surgery the next day and got the hole in my heart closed. Whats crazy is that they were able to go through a vein in my groin and do it. but yet 4 years ago they would've had to do open heart surgery to do what they did... Wow science is incredible. So that was a surprise and shock. Scott was still in St.George and caught a flight up that next morning with my Dad to be there. Which I was so glad to have him there. It was really scary and I'm still in shock with the whole thing. But I'm good to go... I stayed in the hospital overnight on Tuesday and drove back home on Wednesday. Recovered till yesterday and went back to work today... So that was my fun little adventure. Still tired, still sore, and just crazy to think that the hole is plugged up now and hopefully that will help if not take care of the migraines!!! So thanks to Scott, my parents, family, and friends that prayed, took care of me, visited me and just plain out cared! I love you all... thanks for your support. Glad I'm okay :)
