Scary Moment
I had one of the scariest moments in my life today. But first of all, I admit that it was purely my fault.
The blood service was in our town today collecting so I went in and donated some. After that, I rested for about five minutes, had some heavy biscuits and drinks there (you have to, you just donated blood!). And then I had to walk home. Now, I thought I was invincible and all that and the slight loss of blood doesn’t really affect me.
Boy was I wrong.
I walked home at a quick pace because…that’s my normal pace. It’s pretty much the only exercise I get. The first thing I notice that was off was that I could hear my heartbeat in my ears. I normally don’t. But I just put it down to my heart overacting. Laugh it up people. I continued my walking.
Then I notice the pavement I was walking on fucking glowing. Like…honestly, “glowing”. It’s just normal white stone pavement and I put it down to the sun shining down extra bright making it look like it glowed.
…then the edges of my vision started having those…purple/pink dots with a lot of white space. I put it down to the glowing pavement shining too bright making my vision go slightly off. My optometrist did say I have a slight issue with sunlight because my eyes are too big or something. Who knows. So yeah, I’m walking on glowing pavement, with my heart beating in my ears and the edges of my vision “whiting out”…at that point, I admit there was something wrong.
So I stopped underneath a lamp post for a few seconds. I thought I could make it back to my house because I was only about five minutes max from my house. So I started walking quickly. But not even 10 steps and ¾ of my vision was white space with pink/purple dots. I actually thought I was going to faint in the middle of the street. I was so scared of that I was seriously tempted to call home and ask one of them to come and meet me where I was.
But no. I stayed calm and slowly walked to someone’s front porch/stairs and just sat on it. With my eyes closed. For maybe a good two minutes. Just as long as my vision was normal, I felt a bit calmer. Once my vision cleared, I made it home as quick as possible and crawled to bed.
It was an ‘iffy’ sleep. Kept on dozing in and out every few minutes. But yeah…scary moment. Not a super-girl as I thought I. Lesson learned here, kids.
PS. On a totally unrelated topic, I just completed an insanely long dungeon in Phantom Hourglass, made it to the sea-fucking-chart and the damn fucking DS crash! ARGH! Damn thing! *throws DS against wall, fuck you*
