Never a dull moment

Here is my problem…I am way too stubborn. I have had a cold (or cholera, or whatever it is I have) for almost a week now, and my grandma keeps telling me to just rest. I don’t like to just sit around, I want to keep doing what I want to do. Consequence…I feel horrible.

I went to get my hair cut and colored after work yesterday and ended up almost passing out/throwing up. I had to lay on the floor with my feet up, and wait to feel better. Here is where I got lucky, one of the women who worked at the salon also works in the E.R. at Mercy Memorial. She knew exactly how to deal with me! Feet up, cold rag on my forehead, got me some Pepsi…it was great! It was so much better than when I get sick and people freak out. I don’t have to worry about telling them not to call the paramedics and keep asking me questions when all I want to do is lay there and try to get back to feeling normal. So, if you have dysautonomia (and even if you don’t) you should go to Affinity Spa in Dundee when you need some pampering. You can get a great haircut AND they have a nurse on staff! Now that is a full service spa!

    Hi Jess. I work with your mom. If I am not mistaken, the group of ER docs from MMH run something at the spa too. So, you are in great hands going there.

    Everyone knows my mom! LOL Which is a good thing usually because then they know about her fainting daughter. :o)
