This is too much.
I hope this post makes sense.
I am heavily medicated.
As I have mentioned before I have had trouble sleeping. I have been stressed out and emotional. I have been emotionally, physically, and mentally drained.
And yesterday it caught up with me.
I passed out on the pool deck.
One minute I am yelling at a kid for dunking, the next I am on the ground with my lifeguards above me.
I had fainted on the deck and hit my head really hard on the concrete… I don’t remember any of this but the knot on the back of my head tells me its true.
They called 911, strapped me to a backboard, and sent me to mount carmel west.
Where I spent the next 4 hours getting Xrays and CAT scans and blood tests. Apparently everything was just a little off. My sugar was only an 89. My potassium was 3. My blood pressure was low…
All of that together combined with the fact that it was 90 degrees outside and I had only slept 6 hours in three days and I have been stressed out of my mind was apparently just too much for my body.
It decided it needed a break right then. On the concrete.
On the plus side, I did get both pain killers AND sleeping pills.
I got out of the hospital, had dinner with my dad, and then went to our neighbor Brian and Lisa’s house.
While I was there I got a call from my sister, who was alone at our house.
My ex fiancee had come over and would not leave. He was pounding on the doors and calling for me. I had a protection order so called she the police. They caught him as he was pulling away from our house.
The police however, could not find my protection order in the system, and had to let him go.
I cried and yelled, but it didn’t help.
Steve, Lisa and Brian all slept in my livingroom because we were afraid he would come back.
and today I spent all day first at the police department, then at the prosecutors office, then in domestic court trying to figure out what happened and to keep it from happening again.
And now I have a trail next tuesday.
See kids, THIS is why my life is an afterschool special.
