Last night I went out with the girls, 11 of us, to the movies. We saw Pineapple Express, which was pretty funny. Anyways, we took up a good section of the theatre and were pretty noisy until the movie started… and we got our food. Yeah, Chunky’s serves you food while you watch the movie(for you West Coasters). Anyways, all was good everyone had a great time and then after the movie we wandered into the parking lot and chatted for a long while, which is where the “fun” begins.
So I’m standing there for say 30 minutes or so and all of a sudden my vision starts getting blury and I start feeling dizzy…. I’m gonna pass out, I know it. Then my hearing went fuzzy and I leaned on Misty(thanks for being my rock :0) and the next thing I know I’m sitting on the ground and everyone is sort of freaking out. I get my barings and realize what just happened, yet I don’t know what just happened besides the fact that I just fainted for no apparent reason! So I sit on the ground for a few, get a bit queasy and throw up a tiny bit… yes that was a tiny bit ladies! Still have no idea what happened. Marlene took my pulse and it was fine. I was hot and sweating and the inside of my ears felt like they were on fire. Sooo Marlene ended up driving me home in my car while Alison followed so she could take Marlene back to her car…. thanks guys, what good friends!
I got home, took a shower and laid in bed for a bit, fine the whole time. I did wake up this morning with some lower back/hip pain. Which is lingering down my leg. I think it might be my nerve so I’m pry gonna see the Dr. on Tuesday, especially since I’m soooo uncomfortable sitting, standing or laying down. Walking is fine, we did go to Ikea today but I can’t walk and sleep at the same time.
Lower back/hip issues are not new for me but since I found out my Grandpa has Spinal Stenosis(he just had major surgery last year) and since it’s genetic, I’m a little more aware and cautious of it. I’m young for it but knowing me I’ll be the odd-ball and get it early. Hopefully not!!


Glad I was there to help and that you are feeling better….. well except for the back and hip pain.
