You know the movie John Q???? Well it's one of my favorites, until last night. Well first off Danzel Washington did an AMAZING job playing John! But back to the point. In the movie (for someone who hasn't seen it) starts off with a car accident, and then you meet John and his wife and son. Well at his son's baseball game he collapses and thats where his journey begins. It turns out his son has an enlarged heart (cardiomyopothy ) and needs a heart transplant but the insurance won't cover it cause John is caught in a catch 22 (sucks right).. Well long story short he gets a heart and John goes to jail but they both live.. Now onto why i no longer like it (not really but you will see what i mean)
Google is NOT your friend when you want to look medical stuff up.. First off NEVER EVER google stuff, you will only get the worst of the worst.. and i swear every illness you will fit the bill to a T for it (i'm thinking of Jeff Foxworthy's sketch (TV and its side effects).. Well you'd think i'd take my own advice right??? NOPE my dumb ass googled.. i know someone should come over and smack the shit out of me for doing it.. Well ok not the shit out of me but i do need to be smacked.. Well i googled "enlarged heart in children" and wouldn't you know it Mr. Man fits almost ALL of the symptoms. And it could be caused by a viral infection (which he did have before a year and it caused his CK to rise to almost 1K).. Well yeah now here i am slightly worried, but i know i shouldn't be.. I should pretend it's nothing and the Cardiologist i meet will do the normal MUSC thing and just say "everything is normal and we don't want to see you again".. But deep down my mind thinks "not everyone can tell you everything is normal, someone HAS to come up with something".. damn you deep down mind ...
Ok so there is my dumbness for the day.. i googled.. Hopefully tomorrow or the next day (monday) we will have an appt scheduled for Mr. Man to see a cardiologist to prove to me i'm really just neurotic..
