APPREHENSIVE STAYING ON OWN

For the first time ever living on my own with this disease, I was scared. Last night I wakened up around 1am with severe pain in my abdomen. It was awful. Similar to the pain I had a month or so ago which landed me in the ER. A month ago I was at work and could get a hold of someone. Last night there was nobody around. I made my way to the bathroom as I desperately wanted to be sick. I felt faint and lay on the floor as the pain worsened. I drifted in and out of "fainting spell" for maybe 2- 3minutes. As I felt I was passing out, I realized I really wanted to call someone or an ambulance but could not got up. My cell phone was at the other end of the house and I just could not move. This kind of put the fear of death into me. It was scary stuff. Then I look at the toilet bowl and there to the left side is a phone jack! Of course there was no phone. After about 20 minutes I got back up and made it to bed. This morning I put a phone into the socket so if anything does happen again, I am covered. I would suggest that our girls who stay on their own keep their cell phone by their bedside or carry it around with them while at home just incase!
