I have been completely fine since I got home. I talked with the other drafter at work and told him I could go back for the afternoon but he told me don't worry and just stay home. He said even if I'm feeling better, I should at least stay home to take care of Layla! Anyways, so I decided to have a nap and I slept for about 4 hours. I feel 100% better.
I didn't know that about drinking water! I passed out for the first time when I was 6, and on stage for our Christmas concert in first grade. Everyone was standing up there singing, and it was a pretty lengthy song lol, and I was all of a sudden just OUT. I passed out a few more times when I was 10 and 11, but the big one came when I passed out in a Chemistry lab at the university (standing while the T.A. did a demonstration) and they freaked out and called 911 and I got taken away in an ambulance! Then at that point I thought I should really look into this more. I went to my grandma's doctor and he pretty much just said that my system is really touchy, and as soon as something is a little out of the ordinary my body doesn't know what to do so it just shuts down. The only advice he gave me though was to sit down when I felt faint, and to lay down while getting blood taken.
I was shifting my legs and feet around this morning too. Usually about 15 or 20 minutes is too long for me standing in one spot, but I managed to make it to 45 this morning. I was getting so angry though with people not shutting up! I just wanted the meeting to be over!
Oh by the way, Layla does NOT have ringworm, so that's a GIANT relief!
