There is nothing too new to report other than the date has been set for the procedure.
December 14th, I will be having an Electro Physiology Study done as well as get an implanted loop monitor called an ICM (internal cardiac monitor). The EP study is accomplished while I am awake by taking a catheter and stimulating my heart to 'recreate' what happened in October. If the Dr is able to figure out what the problem is, and it's fixable, they can correct it on the spot. If the study is normal (or even if it's not) I'll get the ICM implanted soon there after. I seriously hope I'm not awake for that! EP Studies are sometimes outpatient but depending on what I done I could be kept overnight for observation. I am very nervous and scared but ready to figure out what is going on.
Mom is coming into town to drive me to and from the hospital. Bo was able to change his flight to be there when I'm in recovery. I'm so thankful for everyones thoughts, prayers and well wishes. Hopefully this is an easy fix.
So far my deployment for March is still on the table even with the device in my chest. I'll give updates on that as the time gets closer.
