Okay so I weighed in today and found I'd lost 3.2lb which made me happy It means I've smashed my goal for the September Challenge and almost made my goal for my holiday - got about 2lb to lose between now and Monday though I won't get weighed on Monday as I'll be flying to Gibraltar lol.
On a not so fun note... we're all dropping like flies this week!
I was putting in my debit card to pay for my supply of LT and suddenly thought 'oh feck'. Keyed in my pin number blindly as I suddenly lost my vision and stumbled to a nearby chair, noting that everyone seemed to be really far away - my hearing was going as well.
I just couldn't believe that this happened in the pharmacy of all places!! I knew it was happening as I recognised the feeling - it's happened to me several times before (pre-LT) and I went to a neurologist but she said it was 'normal'. Whatever.
Long story short my grandmother had to come and get us as I obviously couldn't drive. We got to her house and Medea tested my bp with a handly little machine my nan had stored upstairs. It registered sky-high so I got an appointment for my doc tomorrow morning. I have a feeling she's not going to be pleased... this has happened to me before but it's happened 3 times in the last month which is more frequent than ever.
It's not quite passing out as I always manage to sit myself down but it's a case of if I don't sit down I'm gonna come crashing down regardless.
It's an absolutely awful feeling but I get over it pretty quickly normally. This time it took a lot longer to get over - I thought I was okay at one point and stood up only to lose my sight again. Scary stuff.
Tested my bp again this evening and it was normal but keeping my appointment with the doc anyway. It might be a sign that I truly need to use my holiday to Gib as a break from TFR. Not happy with that but this is happening too often now. Not mentioned it before as I hate to whinge but you know...
Anyway, enough doom and gloom. Happy with my weigh in and I'll let you know what my doctor lady says in the morning.
