Unexpected Coma

I worked both Christmas Eve and Christmas day. I also celebrated with my family both nights after work. In my last blog, I spoke about my blood curdling scream that I suspected was a result from the treacherous holiday. But I did not realize how worn out I was from the holidays.

Shortly after I posted yesterday, I went back to bed. Saying I went back to sleep is an understatement. I actually think I slipped into some sort of coma. I was out of it all day. When I tried to awaken, I was dizzy and weak and barely able to move. I eventually stumbled to the bathroom and then staggered back to bed. I did not eat but somewhere during the bathroom trip was able to feed Oliver.

Today I did not feel much better. I forced myself to try to function. I finally ate. Tried to watch a little television, but I felt so sickly and exhausted. I realized I had not taken my blood pressure meds. So I took my medication and slept for a couple of hours.

I am finally beginning to feel normal again. I did not realize how hard I had been pushing myself. It was like a flash back of sorts. This was how I felt shortly before I ended up hospitalized last year. The last thing I want is to end up back where I was.

It is time for new year resolutions. Last year I pledged to change my life style..work less and take care of myself more. Over the past couple of months I forgot about that. I guess now is a good time as any to renew that promise to myself. And I am gonna rely on you guys to keep me from straying. OK?
