If you follow me on Instagram, I recently blacked out last Friday morning and hit my head pretty bad on our hardwood floors.  I was taken to the ER and now have a concussion.  I knew when I woke up that morning that I didn’t feel right but as a Mom, we really don’t have a choice but to get up and get the day going.  When I went downstairs with Meadow, I was making her breakfast and Milan’s school lunch.  Milan was still sleeping and my husband was upstairs.  I felt so nauseous and felt like I was going to throw up and next thing that I remember, I woke up on the floor in our kitchen with blood everywhere.  Somehow my husband came down and found me.   I was so scared as I am sure he was as well.  Luckily Milan was still sleeping otherwise it would have been so traumatic for her.  Meadow was in the dining room and she said she saw it but I think she’s still too young to know the severity of it.  It’s been quite a week. 🙁

I’m recovering and doing okay but still extremely dizzy.  The first few days were SO AWFUL.  I was vomiting all day from the intense nausea.  I couldn’t move at all or I would end up throwing up.  They ran all kinds of tests and everything came back normal (thank goodness).  It was a huge wake up call for me.  I need to slow down and take time to rest.  I’m constantly on the go and never really take time to just rest.  I don’t know why it’s so hard for me.  I’ve always been like this but more so over the past few years.  I will never take my head for granted ever again and next time, I will listen to my body.  It’s taking a lot out of me to be on my computer right now so I’m going to go to bed.  Hoping tomorrow I will a little better.  Please take this as a reminder to slow down, rest and don’t try to be super woman!  Love you guys.
