Face.... Last night, I fainted. In the bathroom, onto the hard, tile floor. Thankfully I missed the toilet. I hit my knee, gave myself a huge fat lip, and my cheek is swollen and bruised. I was in bed and had to go potty. I am literally 5 feet from the bathroom. I made my way into the doorway and everything went black. Sadly, this isn't the first time I've blacked out and fainted. The last time this happened, I was diagnosed with my leukemia and kept in hospital for over a week, had to be given a blood transfusion of over 4 pints... it was exhausting. I'm just hoping I got up too fast out of bed. It's not that I'm worried, but I hate sitting through blood transfusions. They take all day for me. They are exhausting, and there's always more than blood involved. I hurt so much right now -- and the weather change didn't help again with the fibro. FML. I just want to cry and scream. Sorry.

Don't apologize! That's what this site's for...wow, I'm starting to sound like kmcm now...lol.
I know we all pretty much hate doctors, but please, please tell me you're going to tell your doctors about this.

I tell them all the time when I black out, and when I faint. Same shit...
*scribble, scribble* "And Shanna.... did it hurt when you hit your face?"
....No... I like bouncing my head off porcelain, and tile, and the occasional cement fireplace you twit!
"Yes, sir..it hurt...baaaaaaaaad."

"And Shanna... did it hurt when you hit your face?"
*kicks doctor in nads*
"I don't know, Doc, does it hurt when I kick you repeatedly in the scrotal area?"

LOL - I feel that way so much sometimes, Paz.. soooooooo much. And not always to Doctors...
I know a few people I live with that ask that question after I've fainted and hurt myself...and I look at them like, "REALLY?!"

My doctors hate me. When they ask "does it hurt when...?" I usually reply with, "Well Dr. Went-to-expensive-medical-school-for-nothing, does it usually hurt when you do...?" They never like a smartass...lol

lol -- I'm usually a smartass to my Dr's. I had one and it was when I was in the ER for fainting...
Bruises all over my body. The DR hit one of the bruises on accident, and didn't apologize, but looks at me and said, as I yelled out obscenities in pain, "I'll bet that hurt!" to which I quickly responded, "8 years of medical school didn't miss a beat on you!"
