Back to Work

OK, I have been up and about the last 2 days and hopefully can get back to work tomorrow. I am not 100% but I just want to get back to work. Just have to find the right medication that I am able to take everyday. I forgot to mention my scary trip to the hospital in an ambulance....
On Monday when I hurt my back I was given a needle and medication and sent home to stay in bed for 3 days and not move unless having to go to the toilet. That night I slept like a baby and was horrified that I had not stirred all night. Andrew woke me to check on me, but I had such blurry vision that my eyes felt like they were going back and forth. I said NO to the pain killers as I thought this might be causing the dizziness. Away he gave me the other tablets and off to work he went, the phone rang in the morning and it woke me up. I had to hang up the phone cause I got up out of bed and headed to the toilet when all of a sudden, I totally became so dizzy, the room was blurry, I started to sweat and I felt like I was going to be sick. I sat straight on the ground but it just did not stop and I started to feel like I could not breathe. I got up and headed to the fridge, I felt like I needed water, I was dying of thirst. I made it to the fridge but by the time I got there I could not see anything in front of ME at all. It was totally scary, I remember thinking what is wrong with me. The next I remember waking up on the floor face down thinking how cold and good the floor felt and I was going to die here and nobody knows I am just here!! IT was absolutely terrifying! I could not yell out, the phone had been in my hand when I fell but I could not see anything to find where it was. I must have dosed off again and than I heard Stephen trying to wake me and Charlene screaming. I could hardly breathe, talk or even move but they had rang an ambulance straight away.
They came and took me to hospital, which I don't remember much. But I had an allergic reaction to the medication and it made my heart rate drop and my blood pressure drop very low. Very Scary... My first ride in an ambulance, which involves ME being the patient! My DH said the doctors and nurses were so great with me and I was the not so perfect patient LOL....
I am scared in a way to go back to work but I really want to go back, I just hope my back will be good for ME! Might not be able to do a full day but see how long I can last...
