Oh well, it just gets better, [View all]

Sunday morn, I'm just done with my morning bathroom stint, when I woke up on floor, I hurt like all hell. I struggled on to the bed, got dressed and drove to ER.
Broken collar bone, but still in hosp.
Every time I stand up, my BP drops like a ton of bricks. Sitting on bed , normal, 120ish over mid 80s, stand up and this morning when PT was here, it got down to 64/40 before I told PT I needed to sit.
It has been dropping to the high 80s over 60s but we always quit early, today he pushed it, and I felt the black out coming on.
I just want some normalcy again.

Koz
