The pain started yesterday morning. I was doing a presentation and I just started feeling dizzy, and a little weak. Figured it was because I hadn't eaten a big breakfast, or had my morning snack. As the presentation goes on I feel the need to lean up against something. Now, I have never passed out before, and I didn't feel "faint," but I knew something wasn't right.
Presentation was over and I went back to my desk. Got a protein bar out and it did nothing for me. It actually gave me a bit of an upset stomach. After that it was just downhill. My head started pounding, the light was bothering me, and I just felt sick to my stomach. I decided to cancel my afternoon appointment because I really felt like I needed to go home! It just got worse and worse throughout the afternoon. I was able to keep at it for the rest of the afternoon and then I totally crashed when I got home.
Gave my baby a hug and kiss and I headed to the couch!! I really wanted to head to the bed but, I did miss Alex so much during the day, I figured I better spend some time with him.
He did very well. He must have sensed that I wasn't feeling better. I kept telling him that "Mama is hurt. Mama's head OUCH." He repeated what I said, and would lean in to give me hugs!!
I turned out the overhead light and Alex sat on the couch with me and we colored in his coloring book. We watched some "movies" which are really just home videos I take on my phone of him. It has just been in the past month that he has realized (most of the time) that it is him in the movies!
It got to the point where I just couldn't take it. Jason had to take over and I fell asleep on the couch. Alex was watching nursery rhymes on youtube with his Dad.
But before I fell asleep, Alex helped his sick Mama and got her comfortable on the couch. He brought over his Elmo and Cookie Monster stuffed animal, then got his blanket to cover me up. Such a kind little boy, helping his Mama out.
