What an awful night

[Fashionably Late]

I think I forgot I had a bypass last night. My eldest daughter had been eating some Skittles and had a few left in her packet. After she went to bed, I decided to eat them (stupid I know). About 30 minutes later I felt a little sick and decided that it hadn't been a good idea and to just head up to bed. But that isn't what happened.

I found myself in the downstairs loo being sick. Next thing I know I hear a distant ringing of the phone and find myself lying on the floor in a pool of sick and blood. I had passed out while standing at the sink and toppled over onto the limestone floor and cracked my head open. It was just me and the kids as my husband lives away during the work week.

I managed crawl upstairs and lie down in bed where I continued to feel worse. I rang my husband to let him know what happened. He offered to come home but it was a 4 hour drive so I declined plus he would be home tonight regardless. I rang the out of hours GP and they came round early this morning. I now also have a concussion from hitting the floor so hard.

Moral of the story... don't be stupid like me and eat things you know you shouldn't.
