VAPORS! (Vasovagal Syncope)

Yesterday Morning...

Alarm Rang.
I woke up.
Lil dizzy.
Fainted.
Hit my chin.
Bit my lip.

Totally FREAKED out!

Let me repeat:

Alarm Rang.
I woke up.
Lil dizzy.
Fainted.

Huh?!?!

I blacked out.
I woke up like a couple minutes later.
I felt my arms and legs shaking, and my teeth chewing on my lip.

Say what?!?!

One last time...
Alarm Rang.
I woke up.
Lil dizzy.
Fainted.
Banged my elbows.
Scrapped my knees.
Hit my chin.
Blacked out.
Felt my arms & legs shaking.
Bit my lip.
Woke up to my teeth chewing.
Mouth full of Blood.

Yikes!

I thought I had a SEIZURE.

I went to my dr.
She checked me out and I was diagnosed with Vasovagal Syncope.

-Basically, I can't get up too quickly bc it takes me longer for the blood to circulate to my head!

Oi!

After, EKG, Blood tests, peeing on a stick!

I was sent to the Emergency Room.

Bc...

I needed stitches.

I bit my lower lip so hard that I needed to have it sewn up by a surgeon.

Aye ya yay!

My whole day was spent at the dr.'s then in the E.R.!!!

Today, when was the last time your body did something you had no control over?!? Isn't it the freakiest most vulnerable, confusingest thing?!

After I had the "Vapors", I started crying. Then I started laughing real hard bc I looked like a beetle on his back with my arm & legs jerking uncontrollably.

Sometimes we have to laugh at ourselves even if it's at our inability to CONTROL ourselves!

When we do lose Control it reminds us of how much Control we had in the first place.

Other times it reminds us of how much Control we Thought we had...;)
