Went to breakfast with Amy at IHOP this morning. I had a nummy Swiss cheese omelet and pancakes. Amy had the Big Colorado Steak omelet. That girl is tiny but she can put it away.. damn. After that we drove around the city looking at houses in her price range. I have decided that I do not want to mess with buying a house for at least another few years. What a process..
This afternoon.. Annie and I met Denise (from class) to review our Cisco project. We met at Caribou Coffee. Then we went home and watched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Definitely a different movie. I guess it was ok.. I did like Angelina Jolie's character though.
As we were watching the movie.. I felt my heart begin to race and beat irregularly.. I was shaky and didn't feel that good. Of course.. I didn't say anything to Ann. I have felt this way before.. but I never thought anything about it and it was never this bad. So I called Ask-a-Nurse at Meritcare to find out what they thought about it. She told me that she wasn't comfortable with it and wanted me to come into the ER. I was hesitant, but Ann told me that I should go. We got there about 7:30.. I saw a doctor in an hour told him my complaints and they decided to do an EKG on me. They said that everything looked good except there was one concern that the Cardiologist had. He needed more information regarding it so they want to fit me with a cardiac event monitor so they can get a more accurate reading of what my heart is doing. They are suppose to call me and set up my appointment.
I don't really know what to think about it.. obviously it isn't that bad or they wouldn't have let me leave the hospital. There is some family history of leaky valves and tachycardia in my family.. so I might be another one of the recipients. I guess I am on the right track to figure it out. I haven't told my mom anything about it yet. I figure I don't need to freak her out about it until I know what "it" may be, but it depends.. sometimes you just need to tell your mom things so that you feel better.. we will see..
I guess we wait to see what the dr says.
