low blood pressure runs in the family

a short list of delightful things that happen when you have low blood pressure . . .

- your feet falling asleep at random times. when you try to stand up, sometimes your leg just gives out and you flail around on your jelly leg before crashing to the ground.
- when you stand up too fast, you are overwhelmed in never ending darkness for a couple of seconds before your head stops spinning. it's quite the roller coaster ride!
- when the temp is getting icy, your fingers do to. they stay yellowish white for around five minutes before a tingling sensation occurs and your fingers return to a natural color ten minutes later.
- fainting. i haven't yet, but i wondered why i felt so light headed and disoriented on a hot day when the watermelon knife cut through a sixth grader's leg! it was supposed to be a celebratory sixth grade trip, but the fun and games had to be put on pause as the kid was taken to the hospital. someone climbed a tree while i focused on my breathing. it looked like a murder scene. but that's another story.

(quite simply too long to be a tiny write :P )
