Sorry to hear your head got injured! Are you recovering okay? What happened?

I fainted in my kitchen at 5:30 AM and whacked my heas on the stairwell on the way down. Spent the day in the ER having CT scans, chest x-rays, and blood work. They don't really know why it happened. I have a couple follow-up appointments next week. I've had a heart monitor taped to my chest for the last week.
