My Saturday.

Saturday was the most interesting, life-changing day of my life so far. Here is what happened...

I was feeling sick all through-out the night. I kept waking up with a little stomach ache, but nothing I was alarmed about. I woke up around 9:30, layed in bed watching T.V till about 11. I felt a little under the weather, but I was going to go on with my day as usual. I got in the shower, everything was fine until I got this over-whelming feeling that I was going to throw up. I got out of the shower, and all I could really do was just stand there. I didn't understand what was going on with my body. I felt sick, dizzy, heavy and just awful all at once. The sound of the water got really quite, and the next thing I knew, I woke up, laying on the bathroom floor. I passed out , and hit my head on the tile floor. After about 5 seconds of trying to figure out where I was, I got sick. My head was absolutely killing me,and  my memory was blurred. I was absolutley terrified.

Thankfuly Joe was there, and heard me fall and rushed to see what happened. He woke me up from my black out. I think what woke up me was the terror in his voice. I had never heard him so scared before. He drove me to the E.R and stayed with me all day. I honestly don't think I could ever repay him for his support and help, and for staying calm all day for me, even though I am sure, well I know, he was just as scared as I was.

They gave me a catscan, and E.K.G and took viles of blood. After about 5 hours. I was discharged. The E.R doctor was very concerned about my sugar levels. I was tested there, and I was at about an 86. Which is on the boarder of being low. Turns out, the night before I ate something bad. My body was so over-whelmed by it, that I had this episode. I think it was a combination of the two.

I am okay now, other than a HUGE bump on my head, bruising on my shoulders, lower back, and being very sore. This could have been much worse. When something like this happenes, you really see your world differently. Up until then, nothing this scarey had ever happened to me before. It is kind of sad it took something like this to jolt me back to wanting to be happy all the time, and realizing life is so short, and in one moment your world can be turned upside down. I am so thankful for my family, my friends, and espeically Joe for being the hero.

This will obviously effect my weight-loss this week. No exercise until my head is better. This does delay it, but getting better is my top priorty. This gave me another reason to lose my weight. I never want to be in a hospital again. It isn't a fun place to be at all. I'm glad that through such a negitive experience, I have a new outlook on my health and my life.
