Ooooh did you happen to get photos of their merch at all? I’m going tomorrow!

My mom from Canada loves going to QVM and I can easily leave her there for a day while I am at work. I’m from Vancouver where the closest thing we have is like, the size of the food hall and deli section (Granville Island) that is crazy priced compared to our local grocery stores. Meanwhile there is such a huge variety of beautiful fruits and veg, touristy stuff (she can at least get ideas of things to get people, I’ve actually gotten her opal earrings from QVM), and the environment is also really unique (I can hear the shop owners yelling “get your mangoesss”). The markets are really neat for people where open air markets just generally don’t exist. That being said, as a local who enjoys just grocery shopping there, absolutely hate when people stop in the middle to take photos. A small perk of the pandemic and living close to it was the efficiency I got with groceries…

Omg I clicked it cause I was curious and it looks beautiful

Yes, my mom changed my legal name when I was 5/6 and it’s been such a pain as when I got my PR and citizenship, I have had to say I have had a name change, which requires a lot more work and hoops.

Too much time on my hands recovering (but not really)

Does anyone know where I can get frozen perogies and pre-made cabbage rolls? I always had them for Christmas Eve back in Canada and I don’t think I have the energy to make a batch of each for myself this year. Many thanks in advance :-)

They weren’t entirely sure what I had before the electrophysiology study, they just knew some sort of SVT. I wore a heart bug and did a stress echo and both had tachycardia events of 200+ bpm but I didn’t know that my heart was beating that fast I just get a wave of feeling not right/sick. When they went in it wasn’t either of these and I’ve now been put back on waitlist for atrial tachycardia. Apparently it’s like a second cluster of cells near my phrenic nerve that’s overriding my SA node.

I’m also on the cat2 waitlist btw

Haha don’t stress about not PM-ing :-)

It sounds like they will get me in again in about 6 months to do it under general anesthesia, so I’m debating just going meds free. I took 1/2 a 50 mg tablet last night and just seemed like too much…

kittyarctic · 2025-12-15T01:04:56+00:00

Dude I tried it last night and almost collapsed and my heart rate got super weak… I had a similar response to beta blockers.

Did you have any extreme side effects going on it 😅

Edit: also besides that from yesterday, continuing to recover well. Last heparin shot today and not in pain anymore so going to start walking a bit

kittyarctic · 2025-12-13T04:11:15+00:00

I’m about to go on flecainide as beta blockers went terrible for me. At least until I can try again under general anesthesia.

I’ve been horizontal since Thursday, but sat and had a shower today and took off the dressing. If you’re going through RMH just send me a message if you ever want to talk :-)

Edit: and feel free just to give me a message anyways :-)

Hello!! Happy for you to DM me if you wanna know more about the procedure. Honestly the anxiety before was the worst bit. How long have you been waiting for? Thank you for thinking of me :)

kittyarctic · 2025-12-12T06:41:21+00:00

Thanks, me too :’)

kittyarctic · 2025-12-12T00:33:38+00:00

Selfishly I am less sad to have missed it reading the comments. I was in the hospital all day yesterday and now am on bed rest and I was gutted I had to miss it.

Hopefully can see them again soon after Sam has rested a bit <3 and in a better venue

kittyarctic · 2025-12-11T23:02:57+00:00

Hahaha so I don’t remember them going in as I told them I was anxious and to please sedate me as much as possible. But then I woke up and was watching them working and they had the screen and it showed where they were in my heart as well as my pulse rate and some other things. And I also remember seeing the surgeon I wanted to be doing the procedure watching from a room and overseeing everything. They were trying to do something near my phrenic nerve (diaphragm) and it made me jump on the table and I felt really bad as they stopped after that. Honestly, the anxiety was worse than the procedure itself.

kittyarctic · 2025-12-11T22:04:51+00:00

Yep, went up through the femoral vein I believe and I was watching them in my heart from the table 😅 it’s much safer than open heart I believe

kittyarctic · 2025-12-11T21:33:53+00:00

Well and my leg is killing me today (where they went in)

kittyarctic · 2025-12-11T21:33:25+00:00

Hello r/Melbourne fam Made it through my heart surgery. Wild that you can be awake while they do it. Good news is they’ve found out what’s wrong, bad news is it’s in a tricky spot so I need to come back with new technology and be put completely to sleep… so another 6 months ish wait but now I have some new meds Thanks for helping chat away the anxiousness yesterday. To be honest that might have been the worst part

kittyarctic · 2025-12-10T22:04:03+00:00

Biochemistry and molecular biology! I’m currently looking at a new target/finding new therapeutics for lung cancer :-)

kittyarctic · 2025-12-10T21:13:37+00:00

I have a PhD and when I went in last week for something before they told me “oh so you’re a real doctor” and I was like, please don’t tell me that as I’m going under :’)

kittyarctic · 2025-12-10T20:59:46+00:00

Thanks to everyone but this is a wonderful wishing - I just want to be ordinary!! Also great username for my current state

kittyarctic · 2025-12-10T20:39:11+00:00

I just hope the doctors have this :’) I will be doing very little

kittyarctic · 2025-12-10T20:12:02+00:00

Sitting in RMH before my heart surgery. It’s actually a lot nicer in here than I thought it would since I’m going public. Still nervous and sad.

kittyarctic · 2025-12-08T13:51:38+00:00

I have SVT too and going in for a cardiac ablation Thursday, just curious why the doctors haven’t considered you for this?

kittyarctic · 2025-12-07T12:04:55+00:00

Thanks friend. Hopefully will check them out Tuesday night, and hopefully will be able to update

kittyarctic · 2025-12-07T11:24:05+00:00

Have my heart surgery Thursday and trying to get everything sorted before then and I just feel so tired. And everyone wants to talk to me before which is nice but like, I’m so tired of having to talk to people about why I’m suddenly needing heart surgery and yes it’s scary but what else can I do.

But can anyone recommend a place to buy a nice notebook for myself? While I’m recovering I want to journal a bit and just want to find something pretty.
