I thought I would never experience fainting. xD

No good O_________O!!!
I hope you're fine!

I also had quite an embarassing episode, tough kindly different from yours, in the office this week, tears involved when my nerves cracked... with my bosses. And I felt so much shame I just cannot think over it >________<
Shame on me >__<

(but your wallpaper is so nice I cannot çOç!!!)

Fainting is terrible, I'm glad you didn't really lose your consciousness. And I'm glad you're ok and that the patient and the surgery didn't have any problems because of that. Take care!! ♥

Thank you~ :) My classmate said I swayed a bit and fell away from the operating table. Good thing, or else the sterility would have been broken. :D
