The Lady Swoons...

Ahhh another day in Paradise. Unfortunately, all is not exactly well. Well, Im not well. Am I sick? Well I wouldn't exactly term it that way. I'll just put it bluntly. From time to time, due to lack of hydration or sugar or something like that, I will suffer from fainting spells. Yes. It can happen really at any given time but not without warning. Usually, I'll be going along just minding my own business, when suddenly I'm stricken with this sortof... odd feeling. Its difficult to describe. I just start to feel...funny. And the more I try to ignore it, the more my mind is plagued by this feeling that I can't seem to shake. Usually within about 10 minutes of this sudden stream of "funkiness", I know that something isn't right. I get all fidgety and my breathing often becomes irregular and my mind starts racing- Oh no... not this. What the Heck?! Now? Really?! Maybe its not, no but why do I feel this way? Where's the nearest exit? Drink some water. Calm down, you're ok, etc. and so on. And of course within a matter of minutes the apparently inevitable happens. I stand, try to walk , and then, like a lovely damsel whose been suddenly overwhelmed by the severity of the natural lighting and not enough air circulation through her girdle, I swoon and Thunk! hit the floor like a sack of rocks. Romantic? Yes. Fun? No. Actually its probably not all that romantic for a number of reasons, but anyway. Getting back to the point in this account. This is what happened to me about two nights ago at a church gathering. That particular time I was thankfully able to find a chair before kissing the tile floor. But wouldn't you know it, just as I spent all of the next day recovering and successfully make it to the next evening without alarm, I try to take a casual 10 step journey to the bathroom and Uh oh...THUNK! Didn't make it out of my own doorway- well after I fell I was at least halfway out. At any rate, once again I lay or sit- at this present moment, recovering. So, that's essentially the long and short of it. No, I did not go to the hospital though if it happens again, Im afraid I'll have no choice otherwise. That said, there's more to the story. I'll keep you posted.
