Sheesh. I'm glad you're back again! Malaysia is a beautiful country from what I've seen in magazines.

I've spent about 16 weeks having flipping tests from a lot of idiotic doctors to find out why I was fainting. Found out finally yesterday at a reknowned institute in Phoenix. Took them one lousy day. They did testing on me from 6:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Test after test. No surgery. Just found out that I had had a silent heart attack from a trauma that happened to me years ago, and my heart wasn't sending correct messages to the brain. Also low blood pressure didn't help and a knee injury made it worse. Kept falling and injuring myself.

Cyber and I are going to write a thread on what happened to us during those 16 weeks pretty soon. What happened to me and the first heart doc I had here should have never happened. He FIRED me as his patient because Cyber told him off. Then the doc sent a certified letter saying he would keep me as his patient until I got a new cardiologist.

It was a horrible experience. Only a few people here knew about it because I was embarrassed about the fainting and falling all the time.

And that was my summer . . .

Gee Slippy, most of us just start the essay like this:

The first day of my summer vacation, I woke up.

MAN!!! I am glad you made it through!! Truly a summer to forget. Yes, Malaysia is a beatiful country. I have decided to spend 4-5 months a year there. I am glad Cyber told off the doc:)
