woot.. !! i saw my heart lol. like a pregnant woman who sees her baby on the monitor.. it was so cool !.
the techician stuck 3 wires to my body. made me lie on my left side with my left hand up and elbow facing downward. like a sleeping position.
and then he pressed a few buttons on the machine. i could feel the gel on my chest. weird. it wasn't cold. not like the movies.
and then it seems like ages when he was taking the echo.
then i could hear weird noises coming out from the machine. i thought wtf.. what the heck is that..
ooo it's the sound of my heart pumping blood. ( it really sounded weird. i thought it was supposed to sound like dub dub. dub dub. but mine sounded like weird. different parts of the ultrasound gave different heard pumping sound)
then he said to turn a little over that was when i could see the monitor. ahaha nice ! i could see my heart.
i think i he was looking at the triscuspid valve, or the mitral valve.. not sure if that's how it's spelled. ( i cheated i checked wiki)
how many ppl can u say saw their own heart !! hahaha i saw mine. :D
anyways, it was cool. he placed the ultrasound thingy on my throat. and my tummy. and told me to breathe in.
okok that's completed then i got fitted with a spacelabs BP monitor for 24 hours. means i can't shower tonight. which is why i took the bus this morning.
gotta return it tomorrow at around 330pm.
the BP machine takes a reading every 30 mins during the day and 1 hour during the night.
anyways, that's the update for today
oh i got both my tests done at the heart hospital about 10 mins walk away . so it was pretty convenient. :D and i got to show off my spacelabs BP monitor. lol
