In my last post I mentioned that I have vertigo again, well...we are now thinking that it MIGHT be something more because conditions have worsened. On Tuesday afternoon {with 6+ inches of fresh snow covering the streets} when I was leaving work I started to feel dizzy and lightheaded, thinking not much of it I got in my car to drive home. I was driving down state street when my symptoms worsened, I was incredibly dizzy, I couldn't see straight, I was still extremely lightheaded, I knew I wasn't going to be able to make it across town to my apartment so I decided I would hurry to my parents house. But then my vision started to blur, and I panicked, it went from blurry to spotty to short black outs. I had this pain shooting up the back sides of my neck. I couldn't even make it to a parking lot to pull over. I pulled into the middle lane of state street, put my car in park and put my hazard lights on. I remember feeling like I was going to puke so I took off my seat belt in case I needed to jump out of my car, I also thought that maybe some fresh air would help so I rolled down my window, I also took my jacket off cause I felt SO hot! Then I laid my head back on my seat to try to calm down and regain focus but I knew I was going to pass out. The next thing I know some guy is tapping on my shoulder asking me if I am okay. The next thing I remember is being in front of Orem Elementary and my brother pulling me out of my car. I dont remember calling him, Zac, or my mom but I guess I did. Thank goodness Kyle was just down the street at school AND it was lunch time so he was able to come to me right away. I was shaking and bawling my eyes out I have never been so scared! My mom came home from work and called the doctors, they made me an appointment at the IHC in provo this morning where I got a heart monitor placed on me for the next 48 hours. I am PRAYING that this gives us some answers. I have to write down everything I do and what symptoms I have when I do what and when I feel symptoms that I associate with fainting I have to press this button on my monitor. But I honestly still dont quite get this whole set up....its frustrating, and can I just say how incredibly ANNOYING this thing is?! other than the fact that I have 6 wires connected to me which was surprisingly painful to put on because the nurse had to scrape the first layer of my skin off in 6 different areas the cords are sensitive to heat, water, they cant be tugged either I mean I feel slightly crippled. How am I going to sleep!? or work?! BUT on the plus side I did get to spend the majority of the day with my dad. He took me to the hospital because they {my dad and husband} have forbidden me to drive...feels like I am 14 all over again. Then we took my car to get safety and emissions done so that we could register it AND then we went to the DMV to sign the title over to ME. Then we went to lunch and afterwards I camped out at my parents house watching an unhealthy amount of New Girl. Happy hump day everyone. Here are some awesome quality iphone photos to show you just what kinda fashion statement I am rocking over here.
