Day 1 (encore)

I went out for Happy Hour last night, tsk, tsk, tsk.  Here's what happened:

My friend ordered breaded calamari & a mojito & for whatever STUPID reason, I gave in and ordered a margarita & we shared salmon ceviche.  HUUUUGE MISTAKE!  Not just because I have to start the challenge over but because of the following...😰

Out of nowhere, I started feeling bad.  When I made it to the restroom (just 10 steps!?!), I could barely open my eyes, bumped my head against the door, & the next thing I know, a woman asked me, "Are you ok???", & helped me to make it to a wall in the restrooms.  She grabbed a trashcan for me & helped me stand up & watched me throw up!?!Urgh, I was soooo embarrassed!!!😳 I was sweating profusely & the waitress said I was pale!?!  "Pale!?!", I'm thinking, "how could this be???" When I have a drink, I get RED, not pale, so obviously, I was not ok.

LONG story short, Faith is the lady who held me up and watched me throw up (she was my guardian angel - she told me she went to church and liked helping people.  I was so busy throwing up that I didn't even get to tell her that I was Christian too.😞), the waitress told my friend that I was puking in the restrooms (the whole time, she thought I was fine) & called the paramedics (I begged her to send them back & that I was ok - I really wasn't).  3 paramedics came inside the restrooms and they took my blood pressure.  My abdomen was hurting like heck & I was still throwing up here & there.  Since my blood pressure was ultra low, they sat me down & wanted to take me to the hospital.  I was like, "Nooo!"  So they took my blood pressure again when I stood up & this time, it was normal!?!  Crazy.  The paramedic-recorder suspects that I either had the flu, food poisoning or something else (don't recall).  Anywho, since I was feeling much better and my face had gained some color back, there wasn't a need to go to the hospital anymore.🙌  He instructed me to wash my hands so I could sign the form on the iPad (so high-tech now!), said that it was good that my hair was short because I was able to throw up freely (ha-ha), & he also asked if I was usually healthy & I'm like, "Yeah!?!" & he was like, "Yeah, that's what we all say!"

So I'm totally FINE now, praise God for that!  When I drove home & called my sister to tell her what had happened, her first words were, "Did the paramedics get your phone #???"  I was like, "Really?!?"  So yeah, that's what my weakness lead me to...  Also, I can't believe my health is so weak this year: I threw up on Jan. 1, mid-March, & then last night!?!

I have 2 potlucks today -__- but I'm strong now & not making the same mistakes!  So today is the REAL Day 1!
