I fell again today. I went to collect the prescription and the medical cert from my GP, then drove to (feels-like-former) work to hand in the cert. I got home OK, but I was surprisingly tired - after all, I didn't do THAT much driving... I had to get a bite of some food to take all the lunchtime tablets, and suddenly I was on the floor somehow. My legs didn't feel right just before, and I had a brief moment when everything around sort-of waved once, and next thing I know I'm on the kitchen floor. I pulled myself up - was upset, and sore, but it wasn't the first time (well, the 'wave' was), so it's not like I felt the world has ended.
So I ate a handful of tablets, plus a tiny portion of chicken in veg jelly, a very healthy food (as if I was allowed to eat any other kind...), and it was so filling - and I was so exhausted - that I fell asleep on the sofa, around 3pm. Woke up at 7pm-ish, feeling not very well, but then again I don't feel well so often that there is no longer much point in 'recording' it. It was half seven, when I suddenly realised that I have a student at eight - which would be OK, except with all the sleep I never managed to 'visit the hens' (a favour I'm doing for a holidaying friend, in exchange for fresh eggs), so I rung the student explaining that I would be ten minutes late, did the crotches-flight to the car and drove to K's place (all 3 minutes drive) to get the hens sorted. And then, when I got back, I got so violently sick, I felt nearly turned inside-out. And it's not anything to do with the chicken, nor the water brand (which I just changed today) - I get nausea attacks increasingly often, have to take Stemetil on nearly daily basis, but recently it doesn't seem to help as much as it did before...
And finally, having my 'look at the sky from the garden door' moment (love watching the night sky - it evokes so many memories and images...) I hit my head again, this time against the door frame. For some reason, I started hitting my head recently: it feels as if I momentarily have no control over the direction of my head's movement, and usually it lands on some hard object nearby. Or maybe a more accurate description is that I'm loosing spacial body awareness - or at least this is how it feels...
