Well Last Thursday bad luck struck again. My car was towed after I parked it in Annie's apartment parking lot. That costed $115. The tow fucker is going to pay...just haven't come up with a plan yet.
My Easter weekend was ok. I went to the Nite Hawk and sang karaoke with Susan and Sarah for Susan's 21st. Easter Sunday I destroyed my diet. I ate too much and then found room for more. I got to talk to David, which just hearing his voice makes me miss him 100 times worse than I allready do. But, I would die if I didn't hear it...kinda like a drug.
Tuesday I decided to be a good person and donate plasma. I felt tired after that but still wanted to go to the orientation thing at the fitness center. I wasn't working out but continued to feel hotter and hotter. Finally I thought I was going tobe sick so I started to walk out when everything got blurry and black spots appeared. I leaned up against the wall and ??? I opened my eyes to see the fitness dude asking me if I was ok. My chin hurt so I placed my towel on it. I pulled the towel back and seen blood, I thought I had cut my chin. Then there appeared another fitness guy who looked at the cut and said I would need stitches. I felt sick again so turned to my side, the whole time the guy is saying you could have a neck injury. I was more orientated by then so I assessed myself and said "No, I can feel my toes and have no tingling or pain." Then out of no where there was the fire dept. and ambulance. They asked 101 questions, to see if I was orientated. I told them to call my sis and have them get Nessa from the car. Even after I gave them all that info they still thought I might be confused?! They took my bp while laying and it was 135/90 (it's never that high). sitting it was 110/65. I got in the ambulance so the paramedics could take a look. The cute paramedic student told me 4 stitiches (liar). They took my bp again while laying it was 116/65, sitting 100/60, and when I stood they lost it. I also felt sick then. So, they told me I couldn't ride with my sister I had to ride with them. At the ER they took a billion xrays and a CT. Then after being there5 hours they stitched up my chin...11 stitiches. The shots to numb the area hurt like a bitch (they told me mosquito bite...don't know where there mosquitos come from but I sure don't wanna meet them). After another billion xrays the doctor finally broke the news. A chin laceration, CHI (closed head injury), strained neck muscles, and fractured mandible due to a syncopal episode. Oh yeah, one of my ventricles in the brain is larger than the other, but he thinks that's normal for me???He said I didn't have to stay the night cause it was almost morning anyway (3am) and my bp has remained stable. He gave me Tylenol with codeine to help with pain. By then my head hurt so bad I thought it would fall off. The next day ENT (Ears, nose and throat) called to say they reviewed my films and don't think my jaw was fractured, but if pain persists to make another appt. That evening Dr. Mckinnon (my ER dr.) personally called to say he and the radiologist reviewed in depth my films and feel that my jaw at the time was jammed and my muscles were spasming causing the image to be blurred. He said that if my bite doesn't improve in a couple of days to see ENT anway. Well today is Friday and my bite isn't better but I think i am going to wait till my stitches come out on Tuesday and ask then.
Last night Annie and Jennifer moved into my place. Wow, they have a lot of shit. It's going to take all weekend to get their stuff arranged.
I just want to end this with a little advice. If you have ever fainted don't donate plasma. If you are going to donate eat a very hearty meal before and after. Or maybe just stick with donating blood.
