I'm still trying to figure out the dynamics of the fall to explain the bruises I do have and missing anything that would have been truly painful to hit. I didn't feel dizzy at all which is the weirdest part. Just walking and then coming to on my back on the floor.<br />Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-78711502009156313852015-05-31T06:44:52.842-04:002015-05-31T06:44:52.842-04:00Oh no, Juhli!

The same thing happened to me a few years ago, I thought I would be able to get back into bed, but fell like a tree right next to it. Woke up my husband who also thought something had hit the house. We do not fall gracefully :-). Glad to hear you're on the mend.Mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14572048668834170074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-69950560893651453402015-05-31T05:04:20.334-04:002015-05-31T05:04:20.334-04:00And I would have advised someone else to do so too...And I would have advised someone else to do so too!

My FIL had the same problem, kept hitting things as he fell and it turned out to be a medication he was taking was making his blood pressure dangerously low. I'll certainly go if it happens again.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-51559720821019895102015-05-30T13:25:49.215-04:002015-05-30T13:25:49.215-04:00Ouch!

I was dizzy a few days afterwards and went for a CAT scan. It was not caused by the fall, but they found a meningioma and I had to have brain surgery! I'm fine but if you have any dizziness, have it checked outBonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494190967174359622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-4941588931155787662015-05-30T11:43:44.481-04:002015-05-30T11:43:44.481-04:00Thanks for your concern.

I really didn't want unnecessary tests given how I believed it was all due to stomach problems. I am feeling better today so I'm not concerned.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-19724946812139489882015-05-30T11:09:45.501-04:002015-05-30T11:09:45.501-04:00Oh my God, haven't you been to the doctor'...Oh my God, haven't you been to the doctor's ?
