OMG! The past 2 nights have just thrown me off so bad.

First, I went to the gym last night and was doing some toning with Andrea and Simon and POP POP goes my left knee. I have already been having problems with it for a while now and need to get it checked out but i havent had the time.

Then today, all of a sudden, I got this overwhelming 105 degree fever and my throat closed off and I couldnt breathe. It hit me like a ton of bricks and within seconds of the initial sickly feeling. I fell to the floor trying to talk and couldnt. So then, of course I paniced and it made it worse! I have NEVER been that frightened in my life. I now know how people felt when being suffocated. It's the most horrifying, helpless and awful feeling I have ever experienced in my life. I wouldnt wish that upon even my worst enemy!

So the paramedics came and my initial blood pressure was 200/78 and then dramaticly started dropping the more I was able to breathe and calm down. The took vitals and gave me oxygen. The last blood pressure they took was 188/78 and my vitals looked good so they gave me the option to go to the ER or go to my family doctor. I chose my family doctor! So, all he concluded was that it could have been one of 2 things, A. I built a tolerance to my sinus infection antibiotics and that is how my body reacted or B. I had an asthma attack. So he drew some blood (eeew!) and now I have to wait it out. 

My co-workers are worried sick and so sweet how they immediately re-acted and helped me calm down. They may have even potentially saved my life according to the paramedics. If I wouldnt have calmed down, I could have lost conscience. So I am so blessed to have so many people who care about me! The bad news is, my knee needs an MRI and he wont let me work out until I get it. Go figure, Friday is my appointment. He also said I couldnt work out until after we get my results! So I am pretty upset that this is the last week of the show and I cant work out!

I thought I would share this horrifying event and the sad news that I may not lose weight at weigh in. But I wont let this get me down. I am still going to figure out a way to do some type of exercise!
