It was a big shock for many reasons because, obviously, I was very fit at the time and doing sports, so I didn't think it would be possible, really.

I had no symptoms.

Yeah, it was just a big shock because me as well, I'm not good with hospitals or surgeries or anything like that, so that scared me as well.

But when I heard the news as well, I just couldn't really believe it.

I was just shocked and scared, really.

I was just told...

No football, no exercise to be safe, really, for like the foreseeable future until I saw like a specialist or got the procedure itself.

Like everyone in the school got it done, really.

And I think I was maybe one of two in the entire school that got a phone call.

I kind of forgot that the screening even happened 24 hours earlier.

And then coming home after school and being told that they actually did find something was I didn't expect it at all yet.

I think it was one or two weeks after I got the news that I met a cardiologist and he kind of laid out the steps that we were going to take in terms of getting the procedure and like checkups before then.

Yeah, but he explained the condition to me with Parkinson's White Syndrome.

So yeah, it was probably two weeks on the couch, just doing nothing after the procedure.

And then after that, I slowly started getting back into sport and going out with my friends and things like that.

And then in the moment, I didn't really realize it, but like looking back, there was a big uptick in like,

my physical performance and like physical endurance and things like that that I didn't really notice at the time but it's because of the procedure and you know getting that fixed that I noticed those things and that those things happened.

I would say to anyone really, there's no bad outcome because you either figure out there is something wrong or you know for certain that there is nothing wrong.

So it's just the right thing to do for anyone in any circumstance.

Yeah, definitely.
