Glad to hear from you and that you are OK (relatively). Give your body time to heal, feed it well, get the rest you need, but do something every day so you don't get down on yourself. It doesn't Have to be a big thing , even just getting up and dressed can count as can eating a healthy meal. Have you tried a cold pack for your aching head? It couldn't hurt, might help.
The SI can be dealt with even if you just remind yourself you can always do that later and focus on getting through now. It is a product of this illness, not your normal self.
Could you send your mother a thank you note and apologize for hurting her feelings? That doesn't say you were wrong to need your space. Just that you are sorry for the way the end of the visit went.
Nuff bossiness for now, Just one more question. Do you think the dizziness is due to the fall or the fall was due to the dizziness? Could one of your meds be making it worse?
