My Day

Wednesday night I came home from church and did my normal routine, all week I’ve had headaches but  nothing out of the norm. I sat down at the computer and started working on my thirty-one order. Out of no where I got dizzy and told Chris I needed to lay down. He asked if I wanted to go to the bed and I said no that I’d rather be on the floor. So I laid down right there by the table. I was there for about 30 minutes and then I started getting cold sweats. I was hot and then cold and I got so sick to my stomach. I knew I was about to vomit. I had Chris bring me a Wal-Mart bag, I threw up several times. The whole room was spinning, and wouldn't stop. I got scared. I told Chris that I felt like I was dying! I was not joking, I was scared. My body was all over the place. I tried to get up and it just made it worse. Eventually I made my way to the bathroom and then to the bed. I was determined to make it threw the night without having to to go to the doctor. We don’t have insurance, so just going to the doctor is a big deal. Much less the hospital. I laid in the bed and a few hours later I woke Chris up and told him that I had to go to the ER, I couldn’t stop the spinning in my head and I just kept throwing up. So we loaded up the kids and my husbands niece said that she could keep the kids for us, so we headed to Gulfport. We dropped of the kids and then went to the hospital. I was in so much pain, the sunlight was terrible to my eyes and so I kept my glasses on. I couldn’t even sign the paperwork, or look up at the ladies that check us in. The doctor had me open my eyes for a second and they just watered. It was terrible. Once they got the IV going I started to feel better but I still left in a wheel chair 5 hours later. I couldn’t walk without support. I came to my in-laws house and slept from 4 pm until noon the next day. I still have a headache over my right ear, but not sure what that is from. makes me nervous. We all slept here at my in-laws house and are still here. I don’t feel good about going home yet. I want to make sure I am good with the kids before I up and leave. Chris will have to go clean the church at some point before Sunday so I will have to either go along or stay here at his parents house. Either way I hope to feel better soon. I’ve eaten just a small bowl of chicken noodle soup since Wednesday night. I’m not a bit hungry, but so weak. Pray that I recover soon!!!! I can’t be off my feet for too long!
