Today I had a spell. That is what I like to call it. I was sitting in my PI's office (Principal Investigator for those of you not in the lab lingo loop) at about 11am going over my Power Point presentation for tomorrow. He kept making me practice it over again, just the two of us, in his small office. While wearing my lab coat I was going over the slides again "pretending" to be giving my presentation to him, when I started to get really hot all of the sudden.
I felt really light headed. I thought, "ok, just get through the last slide and get out of this office before you fall out." Well, I got to the second to the last slide, and he started hammering me with questions about the science behind everything. Seriously, I could not think. I started fanning myself (he's sitting beside me right now looking at the screen, just peppering me with questions and saying, "do you understand?" Well, I'm thinking about how I feel like I might barf, how my neck is beading up with sweat, and how my head feels so unstable I may just fall right out of my chair. To make a long story short, I didn't get to save face. Nope. Instead, I had to say, "um, I'm feeling really hot." Well, he is a doctor, so I guess his training kicked in and forced the "Are you alright? Do you feel nauseous? Don't stand up. Are you ok?"
So, there I sat like a big loser pregnant woman out of control in front of his desk gathering myself. I would have liked to have said I'm fine and gotten out of there. But, the truth is I don't think I would have made it. Man, I really felt bad. It was so weird how fast it hit me. That has never happened before. Well, mark it down in the book of crazy shit that happens when you incubate a human embryo in your uterus.

Yeah! I say next time barf on him and say,"I'm sorry...I didn't like that line of questioning." C'mon...it'd be funny! :)
I get that too!
Thank goodness I sit at work. Patients will say "you look a little flushed, are you okay" and I say "just hot, thanks."
It does interfere with my shopping ability though, dangit. I can't last as long as I usually can.
