my day

After shopping for little computer stuff at Microcenter today, I realized I was very lightheaded and a little dizzy and generally didn't feel well. I thought I might have a sugar low and went to the car and ate some crackers. And waited to feel better.

I didn't feel better, and shortly I was violently sick in the parking lot. I still didn't feel better after two more of those, and then it went into the constant dry heaves. By this time I was so dizzy and sick that any motion, or opening the eyes, or even thinking about anything made me sicker. For an unknown time I was hanging out the door of my car unable to sit back inside or stop dry heaving or open my eyes.

Eventually a Good Samaritan called 911 and stood by watching over me until they got there. I was hauled off to Tustin Hospital in an ambulance. At the ER they rehydrated me and gave me some Phenergan, and eventually I got well enough that I could go home. Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] realitylost for rescuing my car.

No idea what happened really. I've had two similar episodes in the past that were much less severe but had the same vertigo/nausea combination.

God, I'm glad you're alright. Zod bless the samaritan.

Do I have to force you to watch Tom Cruise killing Oprah, over and over? Hrmph! I'm still glad you're OK. I was worried.
