Great weekend and Fainting

We had a great weekend with our family! Bill and June came down Thursday ! He LOOKS great and I can tell he is mentally ready for his next surgery. I really think it will happen soon! Friday night we went to visit then at Nanny and Papaw. Saturday night all of Robert's brother and their families came over to celebrate their Mom's ( Nanny's ) birthday! I fixed a delicious Italian Chicken dish. We were packed here in my house for sure! Later we got a Wii bowling game going. Papaw and June really rocked at bowling. I have a feeling June and Bill will be buying a Wii soon! OK here is the Fainting story. This is a copy/paste e-mail I sent out to my Church family since I scared the jeepers out of them! I am OK but laughing at my self today! Copy/paste I am getting many e-mails phone calls, facebook comments from everyone I thought it would be easier to send out a e-mail. Thank you for the love and concern ! I am fine today. Just STILL VERY embarrassed after passing out in front of the whole Church yesterday. We have always been front seat Baptist I think that is going to change next week! I felt great yesterday morning during SS. When I went to Church though I started feeling a little queasy and flushed. I thought it would pass while we were singing. I began to feel even worse and told Robert that I was very dizzy. We both sat down and my symptoms just got worse. We decide to leave. I took several steps out and all I remember was sinking in a black hole and hitting my head on the floor. The medic decided that I needed to be taken by ambulance because my BP was so high 180/100. The Dr ran blood work , many test on me and everything is normal. He said I was very healthy! He said I had all the classic symptoms of fainting. The heart beats starts beating slow and it signals your brain to shut down ( which is a good thing). They don't know why. I have never fainted before but they said if this happens again I need to get it checked out. If I was too meet Jesus that day what a better place than a Church full of family, all my Pastors and great music! I am sorry though to scare everyone. My poor family was terrified! That was the hardest part listening to my kids cry and I could not comfort them. Thank-you for those who help Allyson and Jason with the kids. I can't even remember who all gave me medical care but Robert and I are very grateful. A special thank-you to Karen Brown for shouting my REAL age out. I have been telling everyone I was 40 for the last 10 years! I still love you Karen. Your sister in Christ who is FINE at 50! Teri
