I woke up in morning TIRED...I don't even think tired explains how I felt...I think it was more like I hadn't slept in a month, yet I slept all night long. It was a strange feeling, considering how well I felt the whole day before! I had breakfast, took all my meds that I normally take, and went back to sleep, hoping that I would feel better when I woke up. I didn't. I was still exhausted! I knew this was not a good sign for the rest of the day...
My Mom works one day a week, usually Saturday mornings because that's when the pediatric office isn't as crowded with people...she used to be a medical assistant, but CHOOSES not to work with patients anymore because they can get her sick, so she works in the back typing in charts into the computer 4 hrs a week. I think it's great that she can get out and do something for herself!! It is also helpful that she brings some work home with her that I can help out with...it is nice to feel useful every now and then...but back to the here and now...so my Mom is at work, and I am stuck in my room because my Dad has been sneezing all day yesterday and this morning...we are HOPING it is just allergies because the weather is changing, but I certainly am NOT taking any chances!! I hate being stuck in my room because I can't cuddle with Shayna...she just lays in the hallway and stares at my room...it's kind of sad. My Dad just says "she's fine, she's a dog...". I know he just wants to stay on my Mom's computer and watch t.v. in the family room, and I don't blame him, so I stayed in my room and wrote my blog and played on facebook. I tried not to think about how completely exhausted I felt and what that would mean for the rest of the day...
Once my Mom came home I had already finished lunch and decided to take another nap...I just couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I wasn't even laying down for 30 min when I got the weirdest stinging sensation over my right eye. I thought I was going to get a migraine, but then it turned into a kind of numb feeling down the right side of my face for just a second. That freaked the hell out me!! All of a sudden my right arm felt REALLY weird! You might be thinking "PANIC ATTACK", but I calmed myself down long enough to do the whole stroke test thing LOL...I have been to enough neurologists to know how to do that! So I covered each eye, stuck my tongue out, smiled, wiggled my fingers, all that crap, and I could do each thing, so I knew I wasn't going to die or anything, but I still didn't feel right. So I called my Mom and told her to come in my room because I didn't feel good. She came in and I told her that my arm felt weird and what happened with my head. She told me to calm down and just try to go back to sleep...maybe I pinched a nerve in my arm or something. I didn't really buy that one...but I tried anyway because I was so tired. I laid there for a little while before trying to get up. When I did, I realized I was too dizzy to move. I wasn't dizzy when sitting, only when standing...
When I tried to walk, it was like the floor was rocking like I was on a boat that was in 6-8 foot seas. Everything was swaying back and forth. It was making me nauseous. It was like this the rest of the night. I passed out 2 times...once my throat closed and when I came to I had to use extra neurontin to open me up. *Sigh* I don't even know anymore...
I am just waiting...Just hoping...HOPE HOPE HOPE...Maybe tomorrow will be better??? I think this as I stumble into bed with my Mom's help...
