Passed out two nights ago! :-O

Kristen,

I know this sounds silly and a lot of trouble, but...

You know they make those real light weight Bicycle Helmets. And until you clear up this issue about falling/fainting, would you consider wearing one of those when you can. A bump on the butt you probably can get over easily, but continuing strikes to your head....Ummm.

This forum is replete with people who care for you, and want to know you're as safe as you can be. How about it ?

Only a little update as I'm dealing with back pain tonight and want to go to bed... Called my doctor and I will see her tomorrow. Will keep you updated! :-)

Okay, feel better, and we will all look forward to what the doctor says tomorrow!

Back from the doctor. According to her, it's been a vasovagal syncope what I had, so Scooter's Mom was absolutely right about that. It's relatively rare, and obviously no one really knows the cause, so there isn't much you can do about it. Anyway, hope it won't happen again!

My doctor said I was really lucky that the fall didn't cause more injuries. As for a possible brain damage, I would have noticed the effects of it within the first 48 hours (a friend who's working as a nurse said the same), so I guess I'm okay. I'm feeling better today, much better than yesterday, so I hope the worst is over...

So is there nothing that can be done, other than encasing you in bubble wrap just in case? Or at least getting you a helmet to wear around the house?
