Surfacing

Ooooh, sick. I spent the wee hours of Friday morning in the ER, for fun. I hadn't been feeling better - in fact, more dizzy by Thursday night - and when I got up intending to wash up and go to bed, I ended up dropping a ceramic bowl (holding a wet washcloth) on the bathroom floor, causing it to shatter ... and then falling on top of it and blacking out for like a second. SWEET. It was my first near-fainting (actual fainting?) experience ... not very pleasant, I must say. At the ER (Anya took me) they pumped me full of saline, which took way too damn long, and some nausea med (gave me a prescription for that, too), decided I'd had a migraine too, and then sent me home. They said it's likely a virus, and I have to "ride it out." Thanks! Apparently, I need to drink more, but only a few ounces every 5-10 minutes. That's an easy schedule to keep. Oh and it took them like 6 tries to put in an IV. My left arm is a work of art right now.

At the moment, I'm feeling much better, hence my return to the computer. It may be fleeting, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
