Update

Hey guys and gals,

I'm still going to be away for a bit longer, but just wanted to pop in and let you all know that I'm thinking of you.  I'm sorry I can't be here right now to keep up with things.  Yesterday I was diagnosed with a concussion from the syncope I had in the shower last week, which explains many of the symptoms I'm having.  My doctor is hoping these symptoms will alleviate as my brain recovers over the next week or two from the injury to it.  I am also awaiting some blood work, and word from my cardiologist on a dosage change on one of my meds with regards to what may have caused this downturn in the first place.  

I know many of us are having a rough summer, and I hope all of you are muddling through these last summer days with thoughts of cooler fall days dancing in your heads too!!  I'm doing my best to take care of myself and recuperate so I can get back to normal.  Missing all of you,

Heiferly.

Oh no!  So sorry Heiferly!  I so hope you will feel better very soon!  We miss you!

I've had several fainting-related concussions, but never in the shower.  I so hope your head is feeling much better!

Wow. I hope they find out what caused the fainting spell, and can fix it(or your meds). Please take care, and take your time! Best wishes.

Concussion is no good... hope things recover quickly and you're feeling better and on steadier track.

Hopefully you'll be back in the saddle soon. Just don't try to do it too soon.  Thinking of you and take care.

Take care!  I'm amazed that you and Halbashes are able to keep up with the forum as well as you are.  There's no way I could do it.

Do you have new and different dizziness from the concussion?  Bleh!
