My Day Didn't Go As Planned _C046083

We had a full day planned, Graham's Rotary club Christmas lunch at a local brewery, pick up the grandies on the way home, then head to Rockingham Beach for the Christmas Festival and a dinner in the park.
It was quite warm when got to the brewery and little while after we'd eaten I started to feel a bit off colour. Some friends were helping me to get to a cooler area and I passed out - not a good look at a brewery and only one glass of cider had been consumed followed by copious amounts of water. People rushed over to look after me including a couple of nurses who were worried about my heart rate. An ambulance was called and was carted off to hospital( My first and hopefully last trip in an ambulance). Three hours later, after blood tests, ECGs and BP monitoring I was given the all clear and allowed to leave.
I was sure that everything was ok as I've had similar experiences before, but I've always managed to get things under control without actually passing out.
We still picked up the girls but plans for attending the festival went out the window.
After the day's dramas, this is my meagre attempt at a flatlay to mark the day's events besides which, it was too late and I didn't have the energy to go in search of something else to photograph.
So glad you’re ok Merrelyn!

@narayani Thanks Narayani, I'm pretty sure that I gave our Rotary friends quite a fright :)

Oh Merrelyn, how scary for you and Graham, make sure you rest, stay cool (and thanks for taking part in the darkroom thing!)
December 4th, 2021  
Glad you are okay. I have an irregular heartbeat that happens sometimes and I try very carefully to not push myself when it does.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks Jackie, Graham and I were fine because it's happened before but to a lesser degree and not for a long time. Everyone else was worried. My concern was that people might have thought that I'd had too much to drink😂

Thank goodness you're alright
December 4th, 2021  
That sounds like quite a horrific day for you! So glad that you are ok and hope it does not happen again.
December 4th, 2021  
Oh no, that would have given everyone a fright. Glad to hear you’re feeling better
December 4th, 2021  
I guess when you get that fuzzy feeling you need to sit down fast.
December 4th, 2021  
It always looks scary and you have to check if it's nothing serious. It's good that everything is OK. Lovely flat capture.
December 4th, 2021  
Nice to hear that all is OK. Are you trying to match Rhoda's achievements?
December 4th, 2021  
Good to hear everything is fine, but you must have had quite a fright
December 4th, 2021  
Have you been advised to see your GP? Must haven scary!

That was a scary day - glad (in a way) that you were familiar with it happening before and that all turned out ok.

@summerfield @milaniet @gijsje @carole_sandford @onewing @terryliv @haskar @tunia @ludwigsdiana @rosiekind @joansmor Thanks everyone. I had a pretty good idea about what was happening so I wasn't concerned but it certainly gave everyone else a fright, especially when the nurses who rushed over when I passed out started asking about a defibrillator.

Oh dear...sorry to hear your day went awry. Sounds a little scary for onlookers who are concerned for you. Glad you are OK.
December 5th, 2021  
Crikey, that day didn't go quite to plan. Glad that you are okay and nothing serious.
December 5th, 2021  
Oh, dear, well I hope you take it easy and get to the bottom of that little episode!
December 5th, 2021  
Sounds very scary and not much fun… hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for you!
