Thursday I made it through a little of the morning and then fell asleep on the couch. I woke up around 12:30 dripping sweat. I changed clothes and crawled into bed. My cell went off around 2:30 and I had to fight not to fall back asleep since it was close to time to get Tyler. I got out of bed and felt a little dizzy. I had to sit down outside my room. I hadn't eaten or drank anything the entire day, and assuming it was low blood sugar, went upstairs to get some OJ.
The dizzyness got worse as I moved up the stairs and I sat down on the couch and knew there was no way I could get in the car and wanted to start making calls to find someone to get Tyler. I don't remember going from the couch to the kitchen but I woke up on my back on the kitchen floor. This is the view I had.
We went to the ER Thursday but it didn't shed any light. they wouldn't test me for the flu since I'm not in any high risk group and wasn't being admitted to the hospital. It's a little ironic that my plan on Thursday was to stop into CVS after getting Tyler from school and getting flu shots for both of us. I have to wait until I'm feeling better but we definitely want Tyler to get his shot. We haven't decided if we'll do H1N1 as well. I'm feeling better but still get tired pretty easily. I've got a lot to catch up on but hopefully am back in the groove. Stay healthy!
Your experience sounds very scary! Hope you're doing OK now.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds suspiciously like the 3-week long illness I had. Get to bed and stay there--it's the only thing you can do.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!
How scary! I hope the massage helps you.
ReplyDeleteI love the title of your blog! My name is Melanie, I'm 34 and also "meladramatic." Such a cute play on words! ;)
I felt an instant connection seeing your blog header. It's like you're my twin! My favorite places are coffee shops, bookstores and cute boutiques. I was so excited I told my husband and he just smiled. He knows me well.
Anyway...sorry to ramble. Blessings to you as you recover!
Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI know as a mom and wife, it's hard to let others do for you, but take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteThe regular flu this year seems to be hitting everyone hard. We're pretty busy at the hospital. Drink lots of fluids and take it easy!
