Well last night about 3:30 in the morning I got up for a CPAP issue and thought I would check out the restroom since I was up. The next thing I know I am on the bathroom floor on all four with a sore head and water running. My husband came to my rescue to discover that I had passed out and hit my head on the toilet breaking it. While he was attending to that, I stood up and passed out again. I did not even know I stood up. Needless to say, I ended up in the ER and after all the tests it was discovered that I had positive orthostatic vital signs which meant that my pulse rate would drop quite a bit when I stood up and I was dehydrated. I thought I was doing okay with my fluids, knew it was not great, but I need to do more. Also, I have to stop my beta blocker which is the second medication that I have had to stop since surgery, which is a good thing. That should help the pulse rate drop. Blood pressure was okay. A little sore today, must have hit the side of my body against the counter or something, but I am glad that I know what happened and can fix it. Just want all those not too far out to REALLY be careful about fluids and check in with your regular doctor, too, regarding any meds you may be on that may change with your new sleeve. Lesson learned today.

I am glad you are doing okay and that you had a wonderful husband to take care of you.

Wow, I cant believe you broke the toilet..with your HEAD...I am glad you are okay. On a side note, my husband would never let me live that down or stop laughing (after he knew I was alright of course)

I know--it does sound funny but it was so freaky to both of us that he has not teased me at all. Wait a minute, he has too. He asked me tonight if I said good-bye to the old toilet that was now outside. I said I did not want anything to do with it anymore. He said "Since you kissed it the other night I thought you would at least want to say goodbye to it" Funny man.

Lol. I am just glad you are okay...but it is kinda funny.

Im sorry to hear but I'm so glad you are ok and had a great husband there with you to make sure you were ok and get you to help
