27/36, though, that ain't bad at all.

I appreciate that very much! Gonna keep my fingers crossed that it's something easily fixed or monitored.

It wasn't fun, lol. I've still never gotten a straight answer about what exactly went on.

Back when I was a dispatcher in Georgia, one of the women's prisons there had a volunteer firefighter station. Granted they never faced anything like this in my time working 911, but still, they were some brave, badass women who wanted to help as best they could.

They were in the middle of it. I don't remember much of how it happened because I try to block it out, but I just remember being awake at some point and begging them to stop. But since my BP was so low, they said they couldn't give me more anesthesia and had to finish.

For whatever reason the anesthesia didn't work, they couldn't give me any more because my blood pressure was dangerously low, and at that point it was "we have to get this done" so they just finished it up.

I watch this video every now and then when I need a boost, lol. My fave part is how she throws down the papers. A brilliant, badass move.

I just want an answer. They have actual, medical proof that my heart stops/drops heart rate, but since the pacemaker was only pacing less than 10%, they think I don't need one, I guess?

I wore a heart monitor for 2 weeks which showed the dropped heart rates, but they've offered nothing except "go have a sleep study, maybe you have sleep apnea."

And yeah, I was bawling like a baby throughout the whole surgery. Do not recommend.

All I've gotten is a shrug and "Maybe you have sleep apnea, idk."

Doctors being dismissive especially if it's a female. Hey, you might have sick sinus syndrome, might not, oh your heart rate keeps dropping? Maybe lose weight. It's so frustrating.

Girlhood, too!

Do not condescend in advance!
