10. I'm probably remembering it wrong - that was the first reading they took when they found me

Sep 2021

Unconscious on the bathroom floor. So aside from extremely BP, I had a bit of a concussion. the day is very gray in my memory for some odd reason.

One thing I did learn that I had never known before - extreme low BP can cause nausea. That's why I didn't wait for an aide, I thought I was going to throw up and didn't want to do it on the floor or the bed. From now on, I will insist on a barf bag from when I wake up so I am not tempted to get up on my own too soon.
