Thanks, Carmen! I'm really feeling much better today, and I plan to get in
to the doctor's office Monday to make sure that everything's all right.

Hi,
On 30-Oct-2004, "Lady o' the house" wrote:

Well, I don't think I have to worry too much about the birthday cake
I ate
yesterday. It all came back up about later, thanks to the stomach
flu.

But this was after I had taken a nice hot bath to get rid of the flu
'aches.' After getting up to dry myself off, I passed out and ended
up on
the bathroom floor with DH rushing into the room and blood pouring
from my
nose from where I'd popped it. Then, I tried to get back up
gradually from
my knees and passed out again, this time bumping the back of my head
on the
wall behind me (don't ask me how I bumped the BACK of my head from
being on
my knees.) It was a scary time for all of us. I was so freaked out
because
I've never had that happen to me before!

DH wanted to call an ambulance since he was sure I'd broken my nose,
but I
assured him that I didn't think it was broken (I could press, rub,
etc., on
it and it didn't hurt), and I told him that the combination of
barely eating
anything all day, the extra sugar in the birthday cake, a pain pill
I'd
taken for the flu 'aches,' and the hot bath were what caused me to
pass out.

I'm okay this morning. My neck muscles hurt and my nose is swollen,
but
I'll live.

Holy crap Linda! Stay in bed today and ride out the illness in
relative safety. Perhaps DH can put the mattress on the floor in case
you roll off? ;-)

Take *better* care of yourself,
Carmen
