CAT Scan 101
Well, am about to go for my third CAT Scan this afternoon. A few weeks back I started experiencing what felt like a vibration in the vein in the left side of my neck. This would have been the side where the clot passed when I stroked in June 2003. Up until now, I have been really lucky that I have had nothing like this type of feeling occur again. Have been taking my aspirin, lost most of the weight my doc. wanted me to and been trying to live a stress free life. We even moved across Canada to a smaller town so that My husband could accept a new job and I could slow down. Why now after all this time is this happening again. Went to our family GP and he is worried that I have really low blood pressure right now. I had an Echocardiogram this morning and the tech, gave me some insight to what could be happening. For the first time I was able to see a picture of my heart and where the hole was that the clot escaped from that morning that my first episode happened. I am scared that there is more that has developed over the last couple of years, that I may be worse off now then I was before. I just turned 30 which was a major milestone for me. Mostly of reflection of how lucky I am to have my life as it is, even if my health is not so great.
I feel as if I am being selfish by expressing my feelings to my family. I know that this is literally making my husband worry himself to death. I think that he doesn't talk about it because it would become real if he did. I wish it wasn't real and all a dream.
