I probably had a seizure. /vvvvsrs by ButterflyPackage

You know I hate lying.
Well, I'd rather be impaled by Rashoumon /ref than be lying to you right now. /srs
(TW: seizures, hospitals, ivs, wires, headsickness, etc.)
Last night, I fainted in the shower. My eyes went cross-eyed and got stuck. I was shaking. I couldn't stop spinning around, I was so dizzy. Thank GOD that my mom was in the room and caught me, calling my dad to get me dressed and 911. I woke up in a hospital bed with wires attached all over me, and later on (con)

(con) I had blood drawn and an IV stuck into me. I felt drowsy as hell. I was so confused.

(con) My mom, thankfully, was there, genuinely comforting me and trying to make upbeat conversation to lighten to mood. I asked and, apparently, I was still conscious during the ride in the fire truck to the emergency room--to her, at least. I was the only one who didn't remember (and my mom NEVER lies in moments like that), so I was only partially conscious for 95% of the ride. I went into the shower (and subsequently fainted) at 7 Pm / 19:00. Apparently, it was 8 by the time I got to (con)

(con) According to the doctor, I either had a kind of shaky fainting spell, or a seizure.

Regardless, she said that it was likely due to severe dehydration, exhaustion, or a mix of both; ooooor it was a seizure involving both .

I had to stay inside the hospital with my parents until 11 PM / 23:00, wherein they told me and my family to pay attention to me for the next 48 hours, and if it happens again, take me to them ASAP, and when I get home to my home state (I'm still supposed to be on vacation...) go to a doctor there regardless. I left in a wheelchair. (Don't worry. I'm not wheelchaired for good now, I'm out of a wheelchair, sitting in a comfy chair here at home. I'm walking around as usual, just dizzy and wobbly.
