You know that feeling when you drink too much and then decide you are going to spend an hour in the pool? The one where your stomach does that hurty thing and then you black out? You know it's that feeling you get when you do a strenuous workout without having eaten all day?
So I'm sitting at bucks, drinking some coffee, reading a book and smoking a cig and all of a sudden my stomach starts to hurt, like really hurt, and I double over. It doesn't go away. It feels like I'm going to throw up, but no heaves are coming and it gets worse. I decided that if I can get to my car (my roommates car) and sit in it, I can get well enough to drive home. So I quickly pack up my things and pick up the coffee, then decide on tossing the coffee (I just bought it too) cuz I can't deal with carrying liquid if I'm that sick, then start walking. Big mistake. Little pixels in my vision start blacking out. I sit down on a chair and put my head between my legs. Whatever this is, it's not going away. I break into a cold sweat and start hyperventilating a little. The stomach gets more nauseous. I'm wondering if I should call for help, but I really don't want ambulance bill. I sit up, grab my stuff, and walk quickly to the bathroom in the jamba juice. I was really hoping no one was in there. No one was.
I throw my stuff down, lock the door, and look at the toilet. Nothing feels like it wants to come up, but vision is fading and stomach still getting worried. I slid down to a sitting position and then laid down (yes, it was so awful that I was laying down in a public restroom). I lay there for five minutes and visions returned and my stomach mellowed out. I sat up slowly. It didn't return. I stood up and was good, so I walked to my car and drove home.
What. Was. That?
