Laugh!
I was talking with a girl who e-mailed me who has NCS/POTS and we were talking about how we don’t like talking about what we have sometimes because it sounds like we are complaining. Well, I can have a sense of humor about this whole thing. I should for goodness sake, its been my life! So, I was trying to think of funny instances that I have gone through with NCS.
Let me think…oh yes! I have one that my mom and I still laugh about, although at the time I didn’t think it was very funny. My older sister had a play at her school, and I wasn’t feeling well. My mom assumed I was faking being sick so I wouldn’t have to go, so she made me get in the car and we went to the school. We were out in the car for like 20 minutes and she was yelling at me to get into the school. So we are watching the play, and during one scene, strobe lights start going off, and thats when Jessica lost it. I threw up all over the floor, the people in front of me and my mom had to carry me to the bathroom where she kept apologizing for making me go. I won’t let her live that one down!
I punched a kid in the stomach when he got in my way of getting to the bathroom when I was in 7th grade. I felt sick and tried to get to the bathroom as fast as I could, and when I made it, there was a line of girls waiting. I ended up passing out cold on the floor.
My co worker was talking to me about her brother who was passing out and asking me who he should see, what to do, etc. I proceeded to pass out right in front of her.
I think they are funny, they were serious at the time sure, but…gotta learn to laugh at yourself, right?
School was good today, but I got homework. I am off to do that!
