While in Scottsdale I got to experience my first ambulance ride and I hope I never have to do that ever again. I spent most of Wednesday in the sun without much water and no food, not the smartest combo. While at J-rod's cocktail party that evening I started not feeling so hot (for the record I had two sips of my drink, so don't go blaming the a-a-alcohol.)
Even though the talk of underwriting was thrilling, I excused myself from the conversation and headed toward the lobby. Things started going fuzzy, I found a cleaning lady and asked her to escort me to my room, once again she probably thought alcohol was to blame for my strange request. And that's the last thing I remembered before waking up on the ground.
Apparently I had passed out in the entry way to the party, when I woke up I thought I was in my bed but was startled when all sorts of random faces started appearing before me. I was only out for 15 seconds or so, but it didn't take long before an ambulance and firetruck were waiting to escort me away. The first thing out of my mouth was "I'm sorry" and the second was "Where are my sunglasses?" I then quickly looked to make sure my dress was down and I wasn't exposing myself to all of creation. I then started thinking about our recent switch to the high-deductible insurance plan and asked someone to take me to my room and give me a bottle of water. I didn't win that battle and they were persistent about taking me to the hospital.
Once in the ambulance I made a comment about how small it was, would not recommend making that comment because they then assumed I was having a panic attack and thought I was claustrophobic. Not the case at all, just stating a fact.
After doing several tests and pumping a bag of saline through me, I was released and made J-rod take me to In-N-Out.
Don't worry a $3,000 lesson has been learned, make sure to drink lots of water and eat something if planning on a day of fun in the sun.
I once passed out at the mall in college. KC and I were going to go out to eat but we decided to stop by the mall first. Big mistake. We were in AE and I started to feel hot, light headed, and woozy so I told her I was going to wait outside...only I didn't quite make it to the bench. KC came running out and helped me to a bench, while lots of bystanders watched. Needless to say, we decided it was time to stop shopping and time to start eating.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're okay and love that two of your biggest concerns were your sunglasses and how small the ambulance was :)
