Welp, my body seems like it is just waiting for the most opportune moment to crap out on me. I mean, really? WTH? So having a reduced immune system, combined with a weak heart and brittle bones wasn't enough for you, huh? Fine how about an aneurysm?
Yeah, I just found out that, apparently I have an aneurysm in one of my arteries, specifically the one that leads blood from my heart to everywhere bellow the neck. I am a bit upset about this. I mean really, I now have to be extra careful so that is doesn't tear, killing me. So, yeah, no more strenuous activities (heavy lifting, excessive running, trying to get in shape, etc.) until further notice. Darn it, and I was planning to build up some muscle mass by October, there goes another dream of mediocrity. I am definitely a victim of unfavorable genetics.(Though nowhere near the worst, no that award does not belong to anyone that I know) Still, this sucks, it means that I will need surgery(I was hoping to wait till I was 30 at the earliest for heart surgery) though I should be thankful, the aneurysm is only 3cm long right now, if it was 5cm, I would probably be in some noticeable amount of distress and might need urgent surgery.
So yeah, a potentially fatal condition, but lets look at the bright side though, I might not actually have a heart murmur (though that would mean that I have had an aneurysm since I was two) meh, additional testing will be needed.
