Today was my day to walk Confiture (a Great Pyrenees with separation anxiety that student volunteers take turns to walk) and I was feeling great because he's a Great Pyrenees, like my dog, and I miss my dog a lot since I don't live with her at the moment. IT was -22 degrees celsius with the wind so very very cold. And snowing. And very very very windy. The walks are 2 hour long walks with Confiture and I was dressed and wrapped up but I didn't realize how cold it was. By the time I finished my walk I go back to school for my class at 6 and I had an hour before class. In the heat I start shivering nad feeling pain everywhere. But not the type of shivering I can control, nonstop, incessant, violent shivers. I had a migraine and was feeling hungry ish (I have to eat every few hours to maintain my blood sugar) and I was trying to eat my sandwich, but I couldn't. I started feeling nauseous. I'd been shivering for about 40 mintues by then and I didn't think I could make it to class cuz I felt so sick so I called my friend to meet me in the building so he could pick up my homework. I was to meet him on the first floor but going down I started feeling dizzy and lightheaded. I kept myself from passing out on the first floor by sitting down and that's where my friend found me. He graciously helped me to the metro but in the metro I fainted. I don't remember much. I was waiting for the metro and I remember it kind of getting dark and my ears getting blocked. When I woke up I had hoards of people walking out of the metro (I was in front of the doors on the floor) and I couldn't hear anything. I thought I had my earphones in but they weren't there.
A guy thankfully squatted down in front of me and blocked the people. Another guy joined and they made sure to keep talking to me. Asked me if I was okay to stand. Helped me stand and sit down and one guy made sure to follow me all the way to my transfer metro and made sure to talk to me so I wouldn't apss out again or anything. I'm still shivering in the emtro which is insane because it's super hot in the metro. I'm still cold now but I'm no longer shivering.
Anyways, all this story to say that I'm really really really grateful to those guys. I was terrified waking up and seeing all those people around me. I'm really happy that he was there to help me out. I wish I hadn't been so out of it bedcause I don't remember his name and I want to thank him four thousand times again and again for helping me. And I'm sorry for whoever I owe replies to I'm not sure when I'll get to them.
