Hit my head and almost couldn't get up!


I was leaning forward with holding a tissue in my hand, I had thought I saw something on the rug behind the waste paper basket in the guest room; when all of a sudden I felt dizzy and blacked out and bounced my back and then my head off of my walker behind me, whack, whack, BAM! Fortunately, the guest bedroom is still the only room left with carpeting in it, the rest of the house is all ceramic tiled and although it felt like a whack, whack, BAM; it was the way that the back of my head felt like it was bleeding and my back felt as if I broke something just below my shoulder blades. Thankfully, neither seems to be the ultimate scenario that occurred, albeit, I still have been having this nasty headache exactly where my head touched the uneven metal of my walker all day long and this all happened this morning! I have been icing it, on and off all day long. And yes, in the house I am back to using my walker due to Hubby and I realizing that this lovely little gem of a home is way too narrow to maneuver my wheelchair around and about. And believe me if I didn’t get my brace for my right hand it would be that much more difficult to do the walker, as it is, I just mostly go from chair to chair due to my Ataxia and parathesia creating havoc with my legs, all due to the Multiple Sclerosis. It makes me want to cry that anything I try to do I seem to not to be able to do anymore. I even tried to find someway to lose all this weight online using the 'almost type 2 diabetes' route via Google and it came up with a very legit site, Joy Bauer, the famous nutritionist from the Today Show, and here is the note I got back from her office or what-have-you: “Hello, Thanks for contacting Joy Bauer Online.

Customer Service Joy Bauer Online We value your opinion and your time. Please take this one-minute customer satisfaction survey,” Would you take a customer satisfaction survey with that note above? Well, I have consulted three women who are all my M.D.’s and each one of them said since I am on so many medications there is nothing they can do to help me with my weight problem! And since I am heat sensitive I can no longer exercise without causing an exacerbation of my illness and in turn having to go back on I.V. steroids which are counter productive! Talk about vicious cycles, hmm? Oh poo, I really wanted to discuss something more fun tonight, well perhaps tomorrow? It is the weekend after all, yay! Hopefully, it is in the cards to have something exciting locally to see this weekend, the weather is promising to be gorgeous, with low humidity and low eighties, now that’s how we spell F-L-O-R-I-D-A! On ending on that wee bit more positive note allow me to be the first to wish all of you a very happy good night and a great weekend and kindly count all your blessings and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?!
