The next decade....what's in store?

I'm swaying

I'm feeling woozy again. So woozy that I headed to Casualty again, at about 6:45 last Sunday. Did I write about this before? I can't remember. That's another problem. I can't remember things.

I went to bed early the Saturday night, as I was dog tired. Roof, roof. Got up minutes to 5 and thought it was a nice day for a walk. I was feeling well rested. Made a cup of tea, had a slice of bread and peanut butter and went to read the newspapers online.

I was there for a while, maybe half hour, when my head just felt like it was swaying, the back of my neck hurt and I just felt generally unwell. Went to lie down, and it didnt help, so I went to Casualty so they could check my vital signs.

When I walked up to the nurse, I so shame so I said quietly "I need to check my vital signs please". She said "we don't operate like that you know" and was sending me away. So I told her the story like up above and she put me in the exam room, did the vitals (pressure was a bit high, but probably because I was anxious) and called the doctor.

I recognized him from one of my racing heart episodes at Casualty (those have stopped because of some stomach medication I am taking) and I said "you remember seeing me". Told him what happened, he examined me, gave me a prescription for something for the neck strain but only if the headache didnt ease with Panadol. He also gave me the cell number of the head doctor (who I have seen before) to call if neither tablets worked. Took the Panadol, went to sleep and felt better when I woke up, so went to work.

THe swaying feeling comes and goes. THis week, I was talking with an employee and I had to hold on to him because I felt like I was going to fall over. I must check my iron levels. Maybe that is the problem as my iron tablets ran out a few weeks ago. They don't have the ones I use here (Sorbifer).

Last night, my head hurt so I had to take out the rollers ("Miss Mattie" because my head was hurting me too bad. I couldn'g fall asleep so tonight I am really tired. Gone to bed.
