I had plans! I had so many plans for this weekend.

While doing laundry Friday, I began to feel faint. This worried me because I wasn't doing anything all that strenuous. I was just putting clothes in the washer, then the dryer, then taking them out to fold and put away.

Then Saturday, while at Walmart, I began to feel faint again. This made a bit more sense since I was walking around Walmart. But I was determined to do what I planned on doing that night. But I had fallen asleep twice by the time 9pm rolled around and even just walking to the bathroom made me winded. So, I decided to not do the thing.

Then this morning, I was going to walk right up until I stood up. My left ankle gave just enough that it hurt, but I didn't fall. I decided that it was for the best that I baby my ankle today and maybe I can walk tomorrow.

I have A Fib and one of the symptoms is feeling faint. It hasn't been much of an issue except for when I go out with my family because they all walk really fast. And of course going to Walmart has me walking a lot. Although I do try to walk slowly, it has started getting hot here so that probably has something to do with it.

As for my ankle, I have always had issues with them but I think the way I've been sitting on the couch has something to do with it. I have a reclining two person couch and when I have my feet up, I tend to bend one knee so that the heel of that foot is more or less tucked in the open space at the end.

Thank you for your concern. It is very much appreciated.

I’m glad you know what to watch for. Take care of that ankle.
