Well on a visit to this specialist doctor they call the "Electrician", we found out that kenny has 2 problems with his heart. One is called Superventriculartacchicardia (SVT), which is pretty much a short circuit to his heart and the other problem is called Atrial Fibrillation (AF),which is different than a short circuit. It pretty much is like a confused circuit thats all over the place. So together they are doing 2 different things at all different times. It turns out that AF is actually caused by SVT and is much harder to fix. He will have to go in for a Cardiac Ablation, which is where they will go in through his thigh AND his neck to cauderize the nerves that makes his heart pump blood through the body. There is a slight chance of major complications or death and a 70-90 percent chance that it will work the first time. Some people have to go in for a repeat procedure because it doesn't work the first time. So after the appointment, I took Kenny to work. He called me 20 minutes later and told me to come pick him up because he got fired. Lovely. He loses his insurance at the end of December, so now they have to postpone his surgery til God knows when.
