(Jet, don't you dare censor me)

Okay, so, you guys know I was on holidays, right? Well, it ended with a trip to the emergency room, surgery, and I nearly bloody well died...

On the night of the 29th of December (the day before I was scheduled to go home), my heart suddenly started beating incredibly fast. I felt as if it was going to burst out of my chest. So, we went to the emergency room, and found that I had a rapid and irregular heartbeat. (also known as heart palpitations) At its highest, my heart rate was 203 (on the plane on the way to being transfered)

I was transfered to the General Hospital in the city, where they placed me on drugs to lower my heart rate, which worked, but my heartbeat was still irregular. So, they sent me in for surgery to shock my heart back in to rhythm.

That worked, but they wanted to keep me in for observations. So, I was stuck for the night, hooked up to a f**ing machine which beeped practically every time I moved. I had all these dots and things on me, stuffed plugged in to me and such to monitor my heart rate.

They let me out this morning.

At the moment, my heart rate is settled, with the maximum being 117 during one stage last night. It's now ranging from 80-100. They're booking me in for an ultrasound on my heart in the next couple of weeks, and I'll have to wear this monitor thing around my neck for 24 hours. I'm just hoping the heart palpitations don't start up again...
