Hi Val
I'm so sorry that you fainted and ended up with a shiner but I'm grateful you didn't get injured more seriously. Hopefully, you reported the fainting spell to your oncologist, just to be safe. Those pain pills can be very powerful. I know I have to be careful because my blood pressure is typically on the low side and I sometimes have episodes of lightheadness, especially if I stand up suddenly. I myself never fainted while on chemo and the other medications, but my experience was rather easy compared with what you've endured.
Take care,

So Sorry this
hi Val..
So Sorry this happened to you. I passed out from dehydration after treatment #1 and hit my head on the way down. HAd to go to the hospital for mri to make sure I didnt have a concussion.... They also gave me to bags of fluids while I was there. I was on cisplatin/taxol and after the first and second treatmnet I had a problem with my blood pressure dropping when I stood up. I had to sit up and wait and then stand up slowly... By the third treatment that passed..
I hope that never happens to you again0 -
Sorry Val
but I'm glad you weren't injured even worse. I haven't passed out, but I've fallen several times. In the few days after chemo, I don't take showers unless someone is in the house.
Feel better snd tell them "you should see the other guy!"

You look great!
My daughter and grandaughter ran into you on Sept. 7th and said you looked cute. Dressed all in teal, it takes more than a black-eye to keep you down!
