stay with her or simply to call one to see if they could help her. She has such loyal staffs, I am sure one of them would have been glad to bunk in at her place and get her meds and her liquids and make some toast to keep her from being too lightheaded from dehydration and an empty stomach. Intestinal viruses are bad enough things to go through without a woozy feeling when you try to stand up. I recently had some medication for my arthritis pain that made me very dizzy. I had to have my husband help me get to the dining room to eat and then help me get up the stairs so I could just lie in bed and wait for the meds to wear off...it scared me...

I have a widowed friend who is younger than Hillary who was taking a medication in preparation for a trip to Africa to visit her daughter. She became woozy and fainted in the shower but mercifully it was brief and she was able to keep from falling and hitting her head...she slid down on the shower floor...
