Hydrate!!!

Well, it's been quite the eventful week. I came back from home on Sunday, and Tuesday morning I experienced my first ambulance ride and visit to the emergency room. Yeah, I'm OK and almost recovered now, but that wasn't the best experience of my life.
I'd been feeling sick the week before break, went home and was (I thought) better. Then, Monday night I felt kind of feverish and did not sleep well. Tuesday morning I got up still feeling sick, felt queasy and was trying to make my way down the hallway to the bathrooms. I could hardly stand and was dizzy. I ended up blacking out and unbeknownst to me I continued down the hallway. I then fell backwards and hit my head on the floor. Yeah, kind of scary. There was some concern about hitting my head but we think that didn't harm me besides a bit of a bump on the noggin.
It turned out that not only was I sick with a fever, but the diagnosis was dehydration.
The whole thing was very odd. But, the ER took care of me and hydrated me with an IV and thank the Lord, with four days of guzzling water, juice and Gatorade, I'm almost back to normal. It just goes to show how fast these things can happen to anyone.
