1) Family scavenger hunt in/around Balboa Park.
2) Family trip to Old Town for Venezuelan food and a Whaley House tour (made up for a missed field trip in 4th grade; kind of cheesy/touristy, but glad to have done it).
3) Lots of monarchs!
4) Baby doves fledged!
5) California king snake on spouse's walk home from work!

I completely missed posting my joys on Friday because it‘s been an incredibly busy week, and all the days have kind of blurred together. This morning, though, I had the chance to enjoy some quiet time out on the front porch with the dogs, an iced coffee, and a book before church. It was lovely.

Gissy @Deblovestoread @TheBookHippie @Ruthiella Thank You🥰❤️❤️❤️ 6d

LiseWorks Oh no, did they tell you why you were dizzy in the first place? I'm glad there were no injuries 6d

Gissy @LiseWorks A syncope but the tests came ok even the CT in the emergency room they discarded anything cardiac or neurological. I have to send everything to my cardiologist just in case because I was supposed to have my stress test next month. I don‘t know if he wants to do it sooner. In my opinion maybe could be a couple of reasons: dehydration, I started to do exercises and the day before it was hot, I was tired and I admit didn‘t eat well⬇️ 6d

Gissy (Cont.) They said maybe I woke up too fast from bed🤷🏽‍♀️there is a name but forgot it😂I used to get dizzy even when I swim. I‘m still not a 💯% well. The bump in my forehead is still remembering me is there, it hurts a little bit. I‘m drinking a lot of water, trying to rest which is not easy with a daughter with diverse dysfunction. Maybe was also the presence of stress but I work pretty well with stress I use techniques but you never know. 6d

LiseWorks Oh dear! Well, drink lots of water 💧 I hope tests are good. 6d

Amiable The getting up too quickly in bed —did they say it might be positional vertigo? I have that —it can be horrible. 😖 Take care of yourself as best as you can! 🩵 6d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Oh no!! Take care ❤️‍🩹 6d

DaveGreen7777 Oh, no! Hope you feel much better soon and have no more dizziness! 6d

dabbe Do you think you might have vertigo? I have it, and dizziness is the classic symptom. I've had to train myself to move the head slowly no matter what the activity. Rest, hydrate, and relax! Hope you feel better soon. 💙🩵💙 6d

AmyG Oh wow, glad to read you are ok. Dehydration can be a huge issue where I live-high altitude. I fainted once from it and luckily was ok. Hope you remain well. 6d

Gissy @AmyG @dabbe @DaveGreen7777 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Amiable @LiseWorks Thank you to all of you
😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 6d

mabell Oh my Gisela!!! I‘m glad it was no worse! That sounds like a scary situation, and I hope you are able to rest and recover! 5d

CSeydel I‘m so glad you are ok! This happened to me once several years ago - I managed to break my ankle falling - but they couldn‘t find anything wrong either and decided it must have been dehydration. Now anytime I feel dizzy I sit down and have a glass of water. 5d

Gissy @CSeydel Thank you! It good to know what could cause those symptoms. The weather is hot here and definitely I need to constantly drink water. 5d

Gissy @mabell Thank you! I‘m still in the recovery mood. I feel better but not 💯 % but I‘m drinking water and planning to do some low impact exercises next week like walking. 🤗 5d

tpixie @Gissy I‘m so glad you weren‘t injured to badly. Yes! Keep hydrated and when you change positions from lying to sitting to standing, wait a minute before you get up or start moving so your blood pressure can readjust. 🩷🩷🩷 ( Positional syncope, also known as orthostatic syncope/ hypotension) (edited) 1d

Gissy @tpixie I‘m doing that now. I try to remember all those steps before get up from bed. I don‘t want to experience that terrible sensation😳. I‘m still experiencing some headaches but maybe is for the same reason…hot weather. I‘m conscious to drink water. Sometimes weather feels so hot 🥵 because humidity is high and sometimes Saharan dust is present. Thank you for the recommendation 🥰 15h

PaperbackPirate I hope you feel better soon and it doesn‘t happen again! 8h

Gissy @PaperbackPirate Thank you🥰 7h

tpixie @Gissy yes humidity is really hard and I bet it is really tough there where you live. I‘m out camping and fishing this long weekend and did not drink as well as I should‘ve yesterday and your post reminded me I need to do better. 4h
