Mom started having dizzy spells on friday and complained of a neck ache. we thought it might have been caused by a change in pillows. she went back to using her sobakana pillow and she thinks she woke up with a stiff neck. on sunday, her dizziness scared her but instead of calling 911, she called her niece Miki to take her to a clinic. thankgoodness for Miki being near. Mom even got outside and looked at her car but she was too afraid to drive. again, another thankgoodness.
She was seen by a Physician Assitant (just like Micah). on saturday, I got ahold of Micah and he checked in with her. didn't sound serious but Micah asked her to call him ANYTIME if she had any more problems or questions. she went to the clinic instead of calling Micah.
Vertigo and tightness in her neck and shoulder. medication for dizziness and physical therapy for her neck. and she sees her regular doctor in a week.
i think she got scared and worried about falling and hitting her head and knocking herself out and that raised her blood pressure and her blood sugar. not a good combination.
today she filled her prescription per Micah's instructions and has been napping most of the day which was expected.
she sounds so sad and alone and pitiful. i hate that.
