ER but no biggie
Yesterday was super-scary. I had woken up early so at 9 AM I decided to lie back down. When I woke up I felt kind of weird, like my head was super heavy and I had difficulty keeping my eyes open even though I know I got enough sleep. I decided to get dressed and went down to my knees (side note: I move around my room on my knees a lot since crutches are so awkward) when on my knees I stumbled a couple steps and fell flat on my face. I was dizzy like no other. I tried to slowly sit up a couple times but felt so sick and dizzy that I lay back down. I was on the floor for an hour before I was able to get attention and Cubby came in to see what was wrong. He helped/lifted me onto my bed. Chelsea decided that I needed to drink some water, bad idea. I felt so miserable that I didn't even do anything when I threw up so it ended up all over me and my bedding. Chelsea decided that due to all the other health problems she didn't want to risk this so she took me to the ER. They moved really fast, I am guessing because they had my file with the earlier problems in it. I got some medicine through an IV and some blood drawn to see if my kidney problems had resurfaced. The medicine helped and blood tests showed nothing wrong so I got to come home. The doc decided it was a certain kind of vertigo and he couldn't say whether or not it would happen again.
Tomorrow I go to the cities for an orthopedic appointment to set the date for my next surgery. My life is just one medical event after another.
