London Bridges Spinning Round...

I made it to HR's flat with my 50 pound bag and everything in one piece. We had a few hours before her Arch Night started. (An event of various acts her theater company puts on now and then.) So I didn't take a nap. I just opted for some food. She made me a proper British breakfast of beans, toast and eggs. After several bites it hit me... dizziness. Now this had been happening for a week or two. Every time I ate I get dizzy for hours after. So I had to stop - even though I was hungry. Slowly it faded though which was good because it's a shitty feeling to have. Especially when you haven't slept in two days and have a massive headache.

We got showered and dressed so we could meet up with V at the pub. It was a beautiful day still so we sat outside. I got a Pims - which I love and caught up with V and HR. But somewhere around the bottom of the cup I felt the dizzy return. I had to stop drinking. Then I saw someone order a huge burger and I thought maybe my iron is low. I'll have what he's having. So after a short wait I got one and gobbled the meat up. At that point it didn't effect me.

After a bit we went to the venue for the event. V and I waited to the side as HR did her producer thing. It was then that it hit me hard. I turned white and felt like I was going to fall over. So they gave me some coke a cola but that only made it worse. It was official. I had to call it a night. The rough part was I had flown in early just to see this event of HR'S! But defeated by whatever was happening in my body I had HR walk me back to her place. Once my head hit the pillow I was out for 12 hours. I guess I needed it. But unfortunately that wasn't the last of the dizzy.
