Weirdness

Well, yesterday I decided to be a bit fruity, I guess. It was the weirdest thing. I was laying in bed talking to my daughter about how my hands were hurting from one of my cats biting it the night before. I was going to to wash out the wounds & when I stood a huge wave of nausea swept over me, it was weird. Then as I was walking to the bathroom I was really really dizzy. Not just that little bit when you get up too fast, but by the time I was at the sink I was hanging onto it, trying to stay upright. It wasn't just dizziness, but my legs felt so week.

After that I decided I was going to lay back down, but on the way out I ran into the doorjam & don't even recal falling to the floor & I mean all the way down with my head on the floor. I apparently hit my head as it hurt & I have a lovely knot. After a bit I slowly sat up with my back against the wall. I wanted to try to make it back to my room. So, I got up slowly, went back & forth & ended up again, without remembering actually going down, on the floor of the kitchen. (My room is just off the kitchen.)

My daughter came out & said, "Should I go get Ian? I'm going to go get Ian." Ian of course immediately wanted to call 911 as he is spastic. Me I was freaked out enough as to what would happen to the kids if I was put in the hospital. Fun.

I lay there for a moment, told him to hang on so I could see if it subsided. He still wanted to call. I had to tinkle so bad & I really didn't want to do it on the floor! So, after a bit I was able to sit & get up. After that I was still a bit shakey, but was improving. I sat in my rocking chair. Ian was still in the 911 mode. I can just see a $100 bill for them to run tests that say nothing & say, oh well, your blood pressure must have been low. Yeah, thanks, here's your $100.

After a bit Ian was getting dressed for school & complaining to his sister that "I really didn't want to be woken up early". I said, "I am sorry to inconvenience you." I pointed out he had to be up 10 min later to get ready for school anyway! The pill. :)

So, there was that freakiness, the weird swollen bite marks, & I just felt so tired.

Today, I feel very sore from where I landed & I keep putting my hand to my forehead forgetting the darn knot!


On another note, I got a call from the nurse where Connor is. Annother peer had be instigating something & Connor punched him in the stomach. I groaned that I wished he would stop it. She said the good news was that Connor was listening to staff, was able to be redirected & didn't stay in that violent mode. Oh, yeah haw! There is something to be happy about. It really is, but just not what you think about being happy about when you have kids!

So, there is my weirdness of the week. Okay, maybe not of the week, but it can stop there if it wishes!
