Passed Out!!!

So....when I was released from the hospital the surgeon told me to be careful showering because with all the meds and anesthesia, I could easily pass out from getting overheated. I was supposed to shower with someone. Not a problem since we all know I have a problem with passing out since having the gastric bypass surgery anyway. Last night was my second shower. James was in there with me and as he was helping to wash my incisions, I started to feel too hot. I told him and said I needed to get out. He said he would hurry then but as another minute passed, I knew I needed to get out now. I told him again, and he got me out. But as I got to the bed, I was feeling very strange and according to James it wasn't long before I was "gone" and I dropped. He caught me under my arms but quickly laid me on the ground because he was so afraid of hurting me. I wasn't out long, a couple minutes, and woke up confused but ok. Laid there for a while to get my body feeling normal again. Wow, talk about an interesting night, right? Lesson learned...cool or lukewarm showers for now on while on all these medicines. Thank God James was there to catch me. Could have really hurt myself.
