Today was an interesting day. When I woke up I was feeling great. Last night when I had weighed myself i noticed that I had gained 3 lbs since Thursday. I not only stabilized the weight but I am increasing it now. I have been eating more and my caloric intake is about 2000 now. I was able to make myself a nice beverage and walk around. My parents came to drop off things and I was about to go make breakfast. On my way I got light-headed in the hallway, so I closed my eyes and braced myself against the wall. I have had these episodes before without issue. Not this time. I fainted and crashed to the floor. It was an interesting experience, as I just remember being light headed and then waking up on the floor bleeding. I managed to get a cut on my eyebrow. My parents and Mel rushed over and brought me to bed. I am not sure what happened as I closed my eyes. As I was feeling great this morning the only explanation is Mel found my tinder profile with my heroin chic model body and got jealous and sucker punched me when my eyes were closed. I probably deserved it. I had quite the headache. The nurse came after and checked, but we could not figure it out. My blood pressure was over 100 so it is hard to pinpoint what the cause was. So clearly my hypothesis is right until we can prove Mel’s innocence.
Mel has been playing video games with the kids and it is amusing as she gets excited and yells and then the kids yell and from afar it sounds like a fight. Sometimes when we play co-operative games Olivier will intentionally mess up so you lose. Why? He thinks it is funny and amusing. This morning I asked him why he likes to bug people and he said just his brother. When leaving the grandparents houses, he likes to run away from them as they try to give him a hug. He goes just fast enough and outside of their reach. He then remarks that they love it when he does that. Last night it was my turn to put the kids to bed and Olivier asks me when was I going to leave the room. I am much more strict then Mel at bedtime so they tend to go bed earlier. He wanted me to leave so he could talk non-stop with his brother. With all his amusing quirks, he is affectionate and when he knows I am not doing well he will come and give me a gentle hug and tell me he loves me.
Glad to hear that you are okay. If you need anything just let me know.
I’ve thought of you and your family many times since hearing of your diagnosis. The link to your blog was sent to me today and although I’ve only read a couple, your humour is shining through! Sending you my best wishes for continued strength and recovery.
Hmmm.. i wonder where Olivier gets that from???? mystery.
Mel was far more of a trouble maker than me growing up. She tormented her sister. Olivier gets the non- stop talking from Mel as well
