and not driving a car, or on a mountain.

I was a the doctor’s office today for some test results, which turned out to be ok. I followed the doctor out to where I setup my next appointment. As I was walking, I started to feel dizzy and lightheaded. My vision became obscured by what looked like a color version of TV snow. This isn’t the first time this has happened to me, so I figured if I just leaned against the desk, it would pass. I very quickly found myself surrounded by an entire nursing/office staff and then shortly after, found myself on the floor, which is, I suppose, the order you want those things to happen. One of the nurses, who I recognized from church, claims to have been talking to me when this started happening, but I have no recollection of it. They checked my blood pressure, fed me and made me lay down for a while. After I returned to the proper color and an ample amount of time had passed, they finally let me go home.

So, what lesson did I learn? Don’t skip lunch, especially when you’re dieting. It’s been a while since I’ve done something this stupid/embarrassing, so it probably was about time for me. Good grief.
