Moment of Lifelessness

Last time I felt like life just turned its light off in seconds was when I went under NO2 during the IVF cycle procedure. Tonight, I had a similar experience only that it was more frightening than before - because this time was completely unexpected. We were just about done with dinner at a restaurant. As I was getting up to gather the belongings and to pay the bills, I suddenly felt a sharp stomach pain and then my head felt dizzy while the legs started to give out. At that moment, a waitress already came up and asked if I needed help because I already appeared to be fainting. I regained my consciousness quickly but my ears were still ringing. I told them I needed to go to the bathroom cause I knew I wouldn't make it home with the stomach issue. I was a bit afraid to go in there by myself. What if I really fainted in there? I had a severe bout of diarrhea and I knew I had to get the junk out of my system in order to feel better. The bad stomach issue was probably attributed to the soiled lunch I finished for Ryan just couple days before. The tofu in the warmer probably started to ferment as it was lukewarmed. Yeah, it was not very bright of me. I guess I thought I was strong enough to stomach that. The fact that I am currently on my heaviest menstrual cycle certainly did not help with my condition. Sigh, I just felt old all of a sudden.

For a while now, I am also bothered by this skin issue on my neck. I have delayed in seeing a doctor and it is not getting better. I believe it is a ezcema. It is itchy, stingy, and it started to discolored and spread further.

Yup, all of the above health experiences recently only affirm the notion that life is short. I must live it to the fullest each day.
