Exciting Day

Today I woke up at around 10:00 and just lounged around the house until 11:30 when my cousin called to tell me she was on her way to go swimming with me. I love the summer. I called my sister to come join us. We had a good old time and laughed tons. After my cousin left, my sis and I decided to go to lunch at Subway. So far the day hasn't been very exciting, but keep reading...So we were in line at Subway and Sydney was paying for her food, and she started to stumble backwards. It looked like she had dropped some change and when she went to pick it up she had lost her balance. She just kept falling backwards towards me and wasn't doing anything to catch herself. I think I even said, "Sydney!" reprimanding her, thinking that she was playing a trick. Then when she was laying there on the floor not responding I realized she had passed out. It was kind of scary, but not any more because she is fine. We have had a few good chuckles at her expense. She was only out for a couple of seconds. I called 911, I think she was mad at me for that, and was very impressed with their promptness. They took her vitals and told her she would be fine, that she just needed to eat some food and drink some water. She was just dehydrated because she had gone swimming at the gym and then came swimming with us and hadn't drunk any water or eaten any food.The best part was they said she couldn't drive so I got to drive her new truck. One of the paramedics helping and asking questions was cute and single:) (I think.) Too bad I looked awful...we had come straight from swimming and I had boob marks on my T-Shirt from my wet swimsuit. Typical bad luck!

Lesson: Drink plenty of water when you go swimming!
