Week 7: What A Fright!

This past summer I took a family vacation down to Florida! We were about 3 days in and on that Tuesday morning I woke up feeling just fine. I got up, went to use the restroom and was making my way back to my room to put my retainers back in their case. I felt groggy and sleepy like any teenage girl would when they first woke up. Usually we ate bagels or something quick so we could get out shopping or on the beach but todaaay Andrea and my father had made eggs and sausage. I headed over to the counter to pour myself a mug of coffee and everything went black. (You know when you sit up to fast? Yeah, that kind of black. Except it went all black and I couldn't see ANYTHING. I was  like "I feel dizzzy..". And just like that I woke up to Andrea over me saying "Kirsten, are you okay?" I had felt like I was sprinting and my eyebrow hurt. Andrea said I went pail as a ghost and that I had said I was going to go lay down because I felt dizzy. Before she could grab a hold of me I fell and whacked my head off the door frame. I had passed out from dehydration. It was really scary because that had never happened to me. For the next couple days everyone treated me like a baby which really irritated me. I made sure I stayed hydrated and drank LOTS of water. My eyes were REALLY bloodshot though and I was super tired that day. On our plane ride back home I woke up with a horrible headache. My eyes were bloodshot for about a week before they went away entirely. It was scary and somehow I managed to somehow not split my forehead open.
