Operation update
11 years ago
Commissions are: Open Hi there I'm back from hospital, they made me stay in overnight sadly. The operation failed, I was stuck in there for 4 hours straight feeling absolutely terrified and it hurt a lot (The stuff they used essentially induces a feeling of running a marathon at full speed without stopping and feeling like your hearts going to explode). They used adrenalin and some other similar things over and over and over to try and induce an arrhythmia but it didn't stay long enough for them to perfectly locate it so it would have been a risk to zap it. Worst of all the worst case scenario happened - Its also on the left side of the heart. The operation for the left side of the heart is a lot more risky and can cause clots that get into the brain. They didn't have the equipment and meds to do that operation at the time so I couldn't get it done although I fear if I had stayed in much longer for the operation I would lose my shit and start crying and panicking. During the op they gave me this horrible sedative which made me keep passing out and feeling generally sick. I was shaking really badly before and after the operation I was that scared. When the op was over they put me in a room (and then moved me to one with a lady in it which was really uncomfortable) and kept me in overnight... without giving me new things to change my completely bloodstained underwear and bedsheets so I slept covered in blood. I lost a bit of blood too which wasn't fun, I kept bleeding for quite a while after the operation and wasnt allowed to sit up at all as that would lead to more bleeding (which I ignored and consequently bled all over myself, but honestly how did they expect me to eat if I'm laying flat on my back?). They kept coming over to do observation things during the night and the next day. It was kind of awkward as one man came over to do a scan of my heart (like a pregnancy scan with the jelly stuff but for my heart) so basically I had to show my breasts to some random man which was really uncomfortable. So not only did I have to show my crotch to two male doctors but I had to show my breasts to one too. I got sent home earlier today and passed out in bed, my crotch-leg area where they shoved all the things in really hurts and is bruising up and my heart feels slightly bruised too. So generally I feel pretty crap. So not only did I have the most traumatic experience of my life being awake during the operation it was also unsuccessful and I might have to do it again only with a higher risk rate of me having a stroke and dying... Much fun. I'm currently just stuck at my parents house with them looking after me and I should be alright, just a bit hard to walk. I missed the Gay Pride Parade though which really sucks.

That sounds goddamn awful; I'm so sorry. I really hope any next visit to the hospital is much more successful and less horrible for you.

OP
Thank you so much! The bruise on my leg is about the size of my hand now, such a pain to walk. Hopefully we can figure out something to do when I go talk to my doctor on our next appointment!
