A Medical Bulletin On Myself
About two on Saturday morning, I got out of bed to go to the toilet and tripped into the en-suite bathroom causing myself a head injury. I also cut my hand, but what on I do not know! I suspect, that I knocked myself out and when I woke up, my bedroom and living room was like a murder scene with blood everywhere.
The Royal London patched me up, putting a large plaster on my left hand and I stayed Saturday night in the hospital.
My son brought me home on Sunday and I slept that night at home.
On Monday, the cleaners tidied up the mess.
Tuesday, I called 999 again, as I was on the point of falling over and the Royal London found my blood pressure was low, when I stood up. It had been like that, when I had my stroke in Hong Kong and they had to resort to using old-fashioned mercury blood pressure meters.
There was no extra damage and I came home in a taxi.
I’m a bit more normal today, although I seem very sleepy and my INR is just 1.2. 111 told me to start Warfarin yesterday. Which I did!
I shall watch the football on the television and go to bed tonight.

Ditto the above. When you get up do it slowly. If your blood pressure is low and you stand up quickly the blood drains from the brain causing a temporary black out and falls.
