Ouch!

 Here’s a story that sums up my luck….

Fell asleep the other night ( by night, I mean morning) and like five minutes later woke up and had to pee…. That very second! So I get out of bed and about three feet from the bedroom door I get that all to familiar feeling of “ Oh, shit! I think I’m gonna faint” except I only got about to the “ oh sh…” part. Now, this happens a lot when I get out of bed. I have a routine where when I get to that spot I lean against the wall and hold my hands out to hold the other wall, it’s the walk way into the room.  I must have muscle memoried that because I don’t remember a thing until I woke up bouncing between our bed’s foot board ( we have a platform bed) and the floor. I was on my side, but thought I was on my back. My brain started flipping out. My husband, who had been asleep, heard me so he was above me looking down and I was all, “ where am I?! What happened?! Where am I?!” I had NO CLUE where I was or who I was AND I’d lost my hearing( a new symptom with fainting. Some good old fashioned peace and quiet)so I couldn’t hear my husband telling me where I was. Then my bladder was like “ Hey! Remember me?” And my body was like “ My Dude! We’re broken!” 

My elbow is easily three times it’s regular size and black and blue, as is my knee and my head has an egg sized lump on it. Every part of my body hit that corner of my bed and hit it hard! Then, went bouncing down to the floor for a little extra spice. 

I’ve never fainted that fast before. Usually I get some warning and I can position myself for a softer landing. Not this time. I was DOWN! Taking a wee little nap.

It’s a heart thing ( not dangerous. Not treatable. Just a fluke deal that I’m stoked to have, obviously! And anemia. 

It woke up the youngest boy. He gets scared. I stayed awake for a couple of hours since I’d been tossing my head around the room and he stayed with me. Good kid.

We went to The Cheesecake Factory and since we’re pretty sure that the youngest picked up Covid from there we’ve made a deal that if the husband and I get it after tonight then we’re just not gonna go back again! I mean, seems reasonable!

Got to go.
