So Monday I started feeling really sore - thought it had to do with the exercise class I did on Sunday. By Monday night I was so sore I could barely move.
Spent Monday night under an electric blanket - made it so I could move by Tuesday morning.
Tuesday though I wasn't sore, my skin hurt. Thinking flu.
Went home after work and slept for 3 hours straight, got up for two, then went back to bed.
This morning I called in sick. I was feeling pretty light headed / nauseous and decided to make a fruit smoothie to get some nutrition/calories in. I was just working on pouring the smoothie out when I blacked out. I think I must have been out for at least ten minutes.
My head landed in Kari's water bowl. It took me a while to figure out that yes, I had fainted. The blender was on it's side with some contents spilled out, and the lid on the floor. Thankfully I didn't hit the edge of the counter or something.
Kari was definitely spooked - as was I. I've never had this happen before. I'm keeping myself awake in case there was a concussion or something. My doctor's office doesn't open for an hour.
I think I was dehydrated - yesterday I barely drank 32 oz of water, plus all the sleep and taking cold/flu medicine.
This was pretty freaky.
Fainted!

I think I could walk to the one that is a few blocks away, although that might not be a good idea either.

Debt free - Yeah, it was pretty scary. I'd felt a little nauseous and ate some peanut butter, then kept working on the smoothie. Don't remember any signs - just one second pouring the smoothie, and the next moment lying on the ground. I thought at first that I was on the kitchen tile (cold, wet) but then realized it was Kari's water dish my head was in.

NE called me as I was on my way home - his phone had been on his bookshelf in the living room - which is what I figured.
Thanks everyone for your concern and thoughts!

I can't imagine fainting alone. Usually someone else has to fill in the blanks. It is freaky!

I'm glad I got it checked out too, although I'm not looking forward to the medical bills (I did check to make sure the place I went to was in Network, so that should help some.
