Sarah, Jen, Parker,

Yes, I did go to the ER......they did an xray of my neck because of the neck fusion I had 5 years ago. It showed that there is a neck strain. So need the moist heat on it. I have been trying to take tylonal for the headache with no success......pain is getting worse...& eyes not able to focus even while typing here. I called my Dr cause am getting more sick to my stomach.....guessing that is from feeling dizzy though. He suggested seeing if it will get better over night otherwise he wants me in the hospital. I really don't remember much about the fall at all which is kinda scarry. I really can't afford to land in the hospital since I have to care for my horses.......can't let me get in the way of that. I think I will call it a night now.....really feeling lousy & maybe with some sleep I may start to feel better.

When I was in the ER, the Nurse practitioner asked me what I wanted for the pain......well, I am on the max level of pain med for my migraines so afraid to add any more & she agreed since slowered breathing is a problem with a higher level of narchotics than what I already am on. That does make it rough to treat a pain that is higher than the level I am already being treated for......not a good place to be in at times.

Anyway, think I am going to go to sleep now.....that is about all I feel like doing.....maybe I can sleep the pain away.....or at least won't feel it as much when I am asleep. I know there is a concussion going on here since I am not seeing well.....but hope it will get better instead of worse like it has done tonight.

Thanks for your concern & encouragement to go to the ER......I appreciate your care,
Debbie
