A visit to the realm of unconsciousness

This morning I awoke and proceeded to get in the shower, just like any other day. I was a little light-headed but just thought it was from getting up and still being tired. I got in the shower and got really light-headed and felt as though I was gonna loose my cookies. The next thing I remember is waking up on the bottom of the shower and trying to figure out where I was and what was going on. I was trying to wake up and get up but was so incoherent. I finally got up and out of the shower and still felt as though I was gonna throw up. I finally realized what had happened......I'd just passed out in the shower. Yikes. I couldn't stand up without feeling like I was gonna throw up or pass out so I sat there, knowing Kara, my dear housemate, would be coming down to get into the bathroom. Sure enough, a minute later she knocks on the door and I open it and tell her I've just passed out in the shower. I go back to bed and a little later on she takes me to the health center. My blood sugar was fine, but Kara had also given me some oj (she's smart like that). My blood pressure was 95/61....little low and my temp was below normal too so they suggested I not go to classes for the day and that I come back tomorrow to see the nurse practitioner. So now I have a bump on my forehead inbetween my eyes so I kinda look like I have a third eye and a bruise on my chin from where I fell. So weird....I have no clue what's wrong with me but I do know that passing out is really really weird...and not fun.
