That Time I Fainted

Yesterday, I felt fine. Last night, I felt like I was hit by a freight train. Literally, that quick. I even blogged about not being sick yesterday. This irritating dry cough came, then sinus junk, then misery and no sleep. I vowed last time I was sick that as soon as a big one hit I was going straight to the doctor.

That is what I did. I was going to take the twins with me and then just head to their appointment at 12, but I decided not to last minute and left them with Titus and Dad. I AM SO THANKFUL I DID THAT or getting them to get shots this afternoon would have been brutal.

So, after x-ray and blood work, they said I was in the beginning of walking pneumonia, which is crazy because I haven't felt bad until last night. GLAD I DIDN'T wait. I was getting two shots, 1-strong steroid, 1-antibiotic, 7days of antibiotics, and some cough decongestant stuff. I never have problems with IV's, shots, nothing. Needles don't bother me.

Well, she gives me the steroid and I give her my other hip. As she is finishing I get a little dizzy. I make my way back to the chair behind me and sit. She is talking and I am hearing her, but all I can get out is, "dizzy." She leaves me to go get water. I remember going into panic mode because I could only hear buzzing. I said, "Hey, help." I remember the doctor walking in. I heard someone say they were going to get a rag. I felt like I was on the merry-go-round at the playground for 20 minutes to long. I couldn't see anything but dark and felt like the visuals of the twilight zone. The next thing I remember is waking up on the floor with my feet on a stool, towels on my head, a doctor, three workers, and a cup of water. In case you are wondering, peanut butter crackers do not equal breakfast before steroid shots. Take note people, this is no joking matter.

I used to pass out all the time. It was no big thing. I had no idea though, it just happened. This was weird because it happened, there was nothing I could do, but it took place in sSSSSSLLLLLlllloooOOOOOWwwwwww motion. When I woke up, I felt completely normal.

I called David and after making sure I was ok since I was driving he said, "I wish you would have gotten that on video." Yeah, me too, but in the middle of thinking I was going blind I didn't think to cue Instagram. Then, I  high tailed it to Chik-fil-A for some salt, grease, bread, and lunch for the children. When I left their, I called my mom because I wasn't really sure I felt so great still, like I had this weird tingly thing going on in my legs that were accelerating my bus. I wouldn't recommend it. I tell my mom the story and I hear hysterical laughter on the other end. I tell my dad when I get there and he says, "Hm. Probably shouldn't have driven here. That was dangerous. Did you have your pants back on?" I get my weird sense of humor honest.

Then, it was time for the 4year well visit for these people:

They were not fans. They handled it ok and managed to stand up when they got off the table. That is more than I can say for myself. They got Popsicles, a book, and stickers from the doctor. I felt like we all deserved icees after our 2 1/2 hour naps at B's house. Lindsey has the best bed for sick naps. She loves when I borrow it. That loud mega air blaster fan of hers kept me from sweating half to death. It was the best 2 hours of sleep I have had in a while! I might go back and crawl in tonight. She would be thrilled:). 

I was told don't be around dust for a few days. Guess I won't be cleaning the house or working my classroom. Those are like the two-poster things for dust collection. SCORE!

So, our summer day was eventful. I feel better. That is good. I guess it was worth fainting for a quick turn around. I have friends and family calling my name with water, food and hopefully sunshine this weekend. I gotta kick this quick!
