Fainting Spell and Unquiet Ward

Dec 28, 2012 09:00

I've been wanting to write a lot lately, but couldn't find the motivation to do so. Besides, I actually hoped my journal would have any sort of quality beyond it being the chronicling or my not-quite-daily life events. This does not seem to happen, so I'm just continuing to write what happened lately.

On Wedensday, I had a fainting spell. That's exactly what my doctor told me it was when I saw her yesterday. I was quite worried and so seemingly was my husband, who was with me when it happened. No need to worry though, as these episodes pass on their own. My doctor did get some blood drawn to check my hemoglobin, but this was just for my peace of mind.

Lately, pretty much everyone on my ward has been out of it. A woman on another ward, whom most people here knew, including me, passed away from cancer on Wednesday night. This may've set things in motion, although it's been quite chaotic for a few weeks already. This kind of sucks, as I really feel myself slipping away. Maybe it's time for me to gently allow my feelings and the parts of me I pushed away some room.

health, institutionalization
