I know I just started with this blog, but I have to say I truly missed being able to sit at my computer and type out all my thoughts and share with you what has been happening in my life lately.
As I mentioned before I have noticed my health has been back tracking and I wish I had realized a bit sooner as my daughters rushed me to the emergency room the other day when I suddenly forgot who I was and who are the people around me. This was such a scary experience for me, but the doctor told me after we did every test possible I was just suffering from shock.....yeah this probably sounds weird, but let me back track a few days and fill you in on all the blanks.
The day after you last heard from me I had scheduled a doctors appointment because I have been feeling so tired lately that almost every 3 hours I need to take a 20 minute nap. The doctor checked all he could in his office and couldn't find the cause of this. He then decided we should get some blood work done just to check out a few things there so I went to have that done right after my doctors appointment. I was feeling tired after this big trip out that I went straight to bed when I got home. Don't worry I was fine and nothing happened on that day further, but a few days had gone by and I still haven't heard back about the blood tests yet so I was still super tired all the time. Now we are at why I was in shock....
Being very tired I was in my bed sleeping when I was woken up by my eldest daughter screaming at the top of her lungs. I jumped out of bed and ran to her as fast as I could not knowing what to expect. She was squatting 35kg when she had slipped on her own sweat and doing a split mid air with this weight on her neck and her head having hit the bench. I tried best I could to lift the weights off her but I couldn't.....I wasn't strong enough.....my other daughter got there a few moments after me and we lifted the weights off her neck and helped he up. But in the moments before my other daughter arrived I thought I was going to lose my daughter because I was physically too weak to save her...
After this I was a bit shaken up, but all in all I thought I was fine. Another hour passed and my youngest daughter offered to make us lunch after I finished my nap. When I woke up I went to the kitchen to start preparing a salad for myself when she asked me if I didn't want her to make me lunch anymore and I couldn't remember to offered earlier....she thought this was a bit weird but just assumed it was cause I just woke up. As she was making lunch I proceeded to open all the doors and windows in the house which immediately alerted her because we were keeping everything shut to keep our cat inside after her operation (I will be posting about her operation tomorrow) as she had stitches and was wearing a collar of shame. She quickly closed everything and asked if I didn't remember that our cat had to stay inside.....I said no....
I didn't remember she had a operation....I didn't remember about the lunch....I didn't remember my daughters boyfriend....I didn't remember anything anymore at that moment....she immediately got me in the car and drove me to the emergency room fearing another stroke might be starting.....when we got there the emergency room doctor feared I might have developed a blood clot that is starting a stroke but after a scan it didn't seem to be the case. He proceeded to call my primary doctor and after a full examination and an entire day I was allowed to go home. The doctor told me this all happened to me because of the big shock I got seeing my daughter so hurt and possibly dying.....
But the good news is I am fine again and got the green light to start exercising again. I don't know what it is, but I feel happier than ever and happy to be alive and have my family as close to me as they are.
Thank you for stopping by and expect to here from me quite often from now on!
Light and Love
