But seriously it's probably blood chemistry (low wbc/rbc etc.) related from the chemo protocol. I had many fainting spells during Tx and had to move furniture and dangerour items, to fall on, to safer locations. I also would sit up for a bit before attempting to stand to allow my equilibrium some time to adjust.
I am sorry that you hurt yourself so severely - that sucks.
