Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi Gloria I agree with Teri. By Monday the medical cause my be gone. When a person goes down for whatever reason, it is a SERIOUS issue. Your body is telling you something is not right - BIGTIME. Im just sayin...... love don in ks Well GangI sure don't want to take the light off Trudy - but, I had a couple of falls last night and it was scary.For whatever reason, I can't remember the first one. Only that I did go down here in the RV. But, the second one!! I've got a pretty good recollection about what happened. It's like Trudy and some of you others have described, one minute you are standing and the next you are on the floor for no known reason.I was in the hallway when it happened and I know something scrapped my back as I was going down; but, I just can't see it. Anyway, what really started to terrorize me was the fact that I couldn't get up!!! Then, I knew that I probably needed help and should get to a phone. Sure - it's at the other end of the RV. With lots of weakness, I finally managed to turn over or something; but, I got a hold of something that help me get up.I think I phoned my Mom, almost like asking permission to go to the hospital! LOL Immediately she was getting a hold of the brother who is still driving my T-Bird. Well, by the time he gets here, I've settled right down and just couldn't envision spending hours in the ER waiting for my turn. Oh yes, all you have to do in any ER is mention the word Heart and you are near thrown on a bed, hooked up to machines, with an IV into your hand!! And treated like the number one patient that has arrived. Still, I just wanted to sleep.So, I promised my Mom that I would have the phone right beside me and I went to bed. However, this was a very scary fall this time!! I think I will go to my Dr. on Mon and get sent for some tests. I sure don't want the same thing to happen again.Trudy, you already have appointments with a Neurologist, please tell him/her everything. My Mom swears that I was slurring my speech when I called and I just think of your stutter!! You've had this happening too long after, to blame it on treatment! It needs to be addressed. Mom sent me an article about strokes; but, I don't think you can read those can you?? Meaning that you are only here because of your IPhone. Then again, you can look it up yourself too.Luv Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
