7/18/06- I was in the emergency room today!

Basically what had happened was this: I woke up at noon and I decided to take a bike ride to a friend's house that lives two streets down.  Anyway, I checked the Weather Channel for the temperature and they said it was only 85 degrees (trust me, they were ten degrees off!).  So I got ready to leave and rode my bike.  I began to feel odd by the time I had reached the end of my court yard but I figured I was just tired.  By the time I had reached his front porch, I was beginning to feel very naucious.  No one was home so I decided to go back to my house.  About half way down his street, I started blacking out and my ears started ringing to the point where I couldn't hear anything.  I rested in that spot for a couple of minutes and decided to rest as soon as I could get home.  About halfway down the main street (you have to take it to get to a different section), I started feeling about triple times worse than I had previously felt.  I then collapsed and fainted.  I woke up about twenty minutes later according to my watch but I didn't have any strength to go anywhere.  Then a guy who apparently lives in my neighborhood sees me and asked me what had happened.  I told him everything and he called an ambulance to come get me.  They came in about ten minutes and the guys put me in and gave me an IV and checked my blood pressure about a billion times.  We went to the St. Francis Hospital Emergency Center and they gave me a room there.  I then got even more blood pressure checks and about nine shots (trust me, they hurt after a while!).  I stayed there for the rest of the day just pretty much resting and eating the meal they gave me (I got steak, potatoes, broccoli, coffee, a turkey sandwich, apple crisp, pretzels, and a sandwich.).  I obvioulsy didn't finish it! lol  Anyway, my mom came and she stayed a while as well.  After a while, they finally released me and I got to go home.  Let's just say this was definently one of my more scarier experiences in life.  Please reply to this and my other recent blog post!  Thanks!
