falling down // tachy

[Guest guest]

Ok, it has gotten kind of funny how many times a week I fall down

and how many things items I drop and break as well. I have

bought plastic cups and plates now (no, machine washable.) I

remind myself now every time the door or phone rings - count to

five and take your time- who cares if you miss it. I am like some

pathetic cartoon character - feet one way- body the other -

thoughts somewhere else.

I have broken my ribs three times this year, sprained my ankle

atleast twice, wrist once, chipped my coxix (sp) again, one major

jaw to the floor smack, and I hit my head atleast twice a week (no

depth peception). I have so many bumps and bruises people

must think I am abused !!!!! I have also fallen in to one manhole

and one pothole in two years! I get into the car and wham - the

head. And just three years ago I was still jumping horses and

ice skating professionally. I got through my entire childhood

without a single broken major bone.

Then for the dizzy spells- at least then I tend to slide if I am not

moving in the first place. When i get up in the am i slap into

walls trying to make it into the kitchen- and i don't even no i am

dizzy.

The funniest- and truly- was a date i had last year. i think I

tripped about 15 times and was swaying and he was just like "

what the .. " He knew me well enough to knowI was sober - but

not enough to know the why's. I told him my feet just don't really

keep up with me and made it light - later I fessed up after date 2.

there was no 3 but it was really quite funny.

I tried a quarter of that beta blocker this early afternoon and I am

way more dizzy and overheated and seeing stars and

nauseated- plain yuck. And even after all of this gatorade my bp

is staying down at 70/55 ( and two cups of coffee)- i have even

eaten anything more than fruit and a few bites of yogurt. I am

suppose to start with 1/2 tab twice daily. I don't know when it

does actually raise the bp. I am just taing zofran and sitting

infront of the ac unit - gatorade in hand- this will pass! I tried

walking but i got overheated too fast. The tachy is down to 88

from my usual 140 at this time of day. I must be ridiculously

sensitive to this stuff!!!!!

cheers!

I have to tell you the best thing that you have done for yourself is

slowed down! I just can't imagine the pain of all those broken bones

and sprains and everything thing else. I just want to desperately

wrap you up in bubble wrap. Who else was I going to do that to? Hmmm,

I think it was Rose. If it was someone else you can remind me LOL

I think going to plastic and paper was a good economical choice.

Anything else would be to costly!

As far as the guy you seen twice and didn't see 3 times he didn't

deserve you and you are better off without him. There are alot of

fish in the sea.

I do not know what a beta-blocker is. I guess if it didn't help you

it might not be what you needed either.

Please be good to yourself! I always tell my kids never to put

yourself down because there is always someone else out there wanting

to do it for you. So, I have to think of a good saying for you. How

about be good to yourself because there is always someone out there

that wants to treat you badly? Hey, I never claimed to be a writer

but it is the truth!

God bless,

Belinda
