I am in the hospital for an apparent collapse at work. (don't remember anything until I woke up in the ambulance) The doctor say..... Too much stress, not enough sleep, a sudden drop in blood pressure, not to mention complications from my vertigo. UGH!!!

Financial obligations, a large purchase and a vehicle breakdown are among the many reasons why I have no time to rest. I miss my husband so very much. He would be here to share the burden with me and he would be here to support me. I miss every thing so very much!! I am about to hit the one year mark and I am still so lost. Just needed to put my feelings down in black and white and get them out. Thank you for reading

Hugs

Lisa, I am sorry you can't seem to catch a break. Take care of yourself. My wife was having fainting spells partly due to low blood pressure and had a fall and died due to internal bleeding and they could not operate on her because they could not stabilize her. We still don't know what exactly was causing all of her symptoms but collapsing and fainting can be fatal. Best wishes to you ~Pete

Thank you Pete I will keep that in mind. I am going to be making frequent visits to the doctor for now so they can monitor things. I am very scared because my husband died so suddenly and you just never know when or why things can happen.
I am at work today- can't take time off- have no sick leave or vacation available because Im part time. I have a pretty easy job except for the keyboarding I do daily.

Take care Lisa. Stress is a terrible thing. My grief counsellor helped me with some visualizing and breathing techniques. They helped. Hugs Patti

Lisa, I just saw this post and hope by now you're doing better and getting the much needed rest your body obviously needs. I have the same fear of a physical melt down and can't imagine how I could get through it without my husband. I know how you feel about missing him and everything about him so much because I'm in the same boat. Thank you for sharing and know that there are many praying for your recovery - both physically and spiritually. Take care, dear. Susie
