So, I've had the sniffles for the past few days so when I got to work this afternoon, I wasn't feeling very good. My dog came in, I stood for about a half an hour and did his nails and everything before the bath.
Well I went back to the bathing area, and it's typically pretty warm back there. It's been much warmer, but it finally got to me today. I was bathing the dog and I started getting really dizzy and I couldn't see. I tried just waiting it out cuz I thought maybe it was just from me locking my knees or something... I told the other girl to watch my dog for a sec so I could go sit down.
All I remember is stumbling out the door, I made it through the gate into the grooming area and I don't remember if I ever made it to the table to sit down.
Next thing I know, I wake up and I'm on the floor. I was so mortally embarrassed that I was on the floor, so I got up really quick and sat down, thinking no one saw. (stupid me, I know...) Then my co-worker, Misty, came back with the manager. She said, "Hon, are you okay? You hit the floor sooo hard!" She said things about how I fell and hit my head on the floor and how my eyes were open but I was unresponsive, and I was shaking... So her and my manager were checking my pulse and blah blah blah. They sent me home, my mom came and got me and took me to the ER.
They took my blood pressure 6 times, took blood, measured my blood sugar, did an EKG, a CT scan, the list goes on. Everything was fine, they just noticed that I was really dehydrated and because I'm sick (I'm thinking I have a sinus infection) and because it was so warm in the back at work, that I just lost it and fainted.
So I'm home now after 3 hours in the ER. My head is KILLING ME (big surprise) and I'm trying to drink Gatorade and Pedialyte (ICK!) and eat something. (Btw, I had eaten today before work, I just hadn't had much to drink today.)
Kitty headbumpies are being avoided right now, although I know they're trying to help,

I guess the way I see it, minimal damage was done and luckily for me there was a co-worker in the groom shop at the time and saw/heard me fall.
