No, No, No and NO!!

The silent migraines came back the other night. I have no idea why...we had a great day, I wasn't stressed and was sitting with hubby relaxing, when BAM!! My vision starting going out.

I chose to just turn in for the night after eating a low dose aspirin. I know, self diagnosing here, but since they can't figure this out, I am not taking any chances of tossing a blood clot anytime soon.

When I woke up, all was gone, I felt the after affects, but nothing to deter me from doing some chores around the house...until...you guessed it, I fell!

I went to turn my sewing machine off, and down I went for no reason, (thanking God for carpeted flooring), I used my sewing table to break the fall and of course landed funny on my ankle.

I sat a few minutes, assessing the damage.  Did I hurt anything other than my pride?  Not at all, or so I thought.

Yesterday, everyone out the door, I sat down to eat breakfast and when I stood up, my left knee tried to buckle a few times and it hurts.  I just kept working it, but I did something to it.

I try not to tell anyone unless it is a bad fall because they worry about me so much and no one seems to be able to figure this out and I just feel like I can't stand on my own two feet for to long without falling and hurting myself.

However, I went to get up last night and my knee started to buckle and of course hubby saw it and asked me about it.  I had to confess I fell and guess I messed up my knee.

He wanted to know why I didn't say anything, but I said it didn't hurt initially.  He looked at my knee and said the back has a huge ball behind the knee cap, so assuming I pulled or contused something.

Today I will use ice and heat and see what happens, but this would be the third Thanksgiving I have had to be down and this time I am not going down without a fight.

Will see my doctor after the 1st of December, we need to go through all the tests and results over the past few months and we need to figure this out...so I know I am not falling for no reason!
