OT: update on my situation

ssure to barely readable levels. I got up to feed the dog, realized I was w= oozy, started to vomit, thought I was headed back to bed when I was actuall= y heading for the back door. I fainted and hit my head/face on the tiles. B= lood, bit of panic, more vomiting. So I've had IV fluids and ice on my face= and X-rays and CT scans and I'm home with orders to do nothing today and n= ot try to walk without somebody holding onto me. Doctor's appt. at 2 this a= fternoon. I'm headed to bed now. I'm a bit discouraged and disheartened. Bu= t it could have been worse. I gashed my lips inside and out but didn't brea= k any teeth. Nose is black and blue and swollen but not badly broken. Foreh= ead is huge and discolored and scraped but no stitches and no concussion.

Oh my gosh Sunny.....how awful. Same thing happened to my niece when she was taking a particular BP med. Thankully, she didn't get to the point that you did but she immediately got off of those pills and onto something more tolerable.

Just stay in bed and take it easy. Come back to us when you are not so woozy...

omg!!!!! having really low BP sounds worse than having it high sometimes. another fall and this one worse than the day before on the ice. tho at least it happened at home...for what that consolation is worth. just stay in bed til you feel up to moving on your own and then be sure you've got someone alongside to catch ya if you decide to go woozy again. only walking you get now it to and from the loo and always escorted. always!!! damn meds sometimes are worse than going without. :( sending ya more of those good healing vibes from the south pacific. {{{{{{Sunny}}}} j.

ack, sorry, my typing sucks now too. :( Arnica, either cream or tablets or liquid is excellent for bruising. we use the tablets here. its a homeopathic remedy with no side effects and can not overdose on it either. i'm a huge fan of homeopathics. hugz, j.

I'm sure hoping they get your meds straightened out soon Sunny. Take it easy and don't give up. Hugs, Taria

No matter what, I'm the luckiest woman on earth. My incredible husband is h= overing over me, making me hold his arm any time I stand up or take a step.= My sons are bringing me ... whatever I want or need. I'm being cared for b= y people who love me. They aren't even mad at me for messing up the day, sp= ending God-knows-how-much by going to the ER (our part will probably be $1,=

000 or more after our so-called insurance is done). They're all just happy = that I didn't get hurt worse.=20

Life is good. I have friends and I have people who love me. I have a warm, = safe house with good things to eat. I am one of the most fortunate people o= n earth, and now I have yet another battle on my hands. But it's not the fi= rst, and I have some fighting muscle built up over the past few years. We w= ill survive.

Hugs and thank you for all the 'good stuff.' Sunny

Keep hanging on but don't do anything more strenuous than open your eye to watch what's on TV or read a light book.

Take care of yourself!

My goodness, Sunny. I'm so sorry you've had such a time of it and so glad you have DH and family to hold you through it. Hugs and prayers, Polly

Sunny! Dear my, love, what a mess that sounds! You take care.

I had a HIGH blood pressure scare after another (very minor: subcorneal haematoms - a light bruise but nothing to indicate why!) blast from the Hairy Eyeball. Panic over it is now returning to its usual low end of normal - just don't get up too fast! way of doing things.
