I'll open up with, I like to take warm baths. But this time was different.
My story to be told in less words than my original thought line goes like this:
I took my heart and blood pressure medications at a much different time than usual, hours later, and I felt overall pretty bad and careless the night. Things clouded my head, still do, about what tomorrow may hold, about stuff I don't have, stuff I have but may lose. Doesn't matter much though, what matters is that I was rather careless and went ahead to bath.
I usually make the water very hot, so hot that I look like a lobster, truth to be told, when I'm inside it. Now this time I had some stuff to do so I left the water to flow, the hot water only, it's only after that I start to add Cold. But I wasn't in there, and the bath filled a lot. Adding cold water to it and it almost overflow, and I have a phobia of drains from childhood, so I didn't let some water down the drain to have space for cold water. I didn't care. I just went in. It burnt but I didn't care much about it. Eventually it started to feel nice and I laid down. Music on, and laid in there for a while. Fast forward to some minutes later I take a cigarette and start smoking as per usual.
This time around however I was pretty dizzy before I smoked too, and I didn't pay attention to the warning sign. I smoked, and got even more dizzy. So I put down the cigarette and laid back in the water once again, whole body submerged, and the boiler is right above my head, which started dripping cold water on my face. To counter that I put the sponge on my forehead so the water falls on that instead. But the sponge was hot too.
So with that, fullybody under hot water, dizzy, and wrong time meds, and all I noticed was a sudden rush of tingliness in my entire body, random shivers, and the music fading away.
Now whatever may have happened there, somehow my head stay on the edge of the bath, so I didn't drown. I woke up like a hour later , when the bath was colder , had no idea what just happened, for a little bit, until I remembered. Head hurt, body ache, and my skin started to come off on my hands and face, which was uncomfortable, not much painful though until out of the water. Now i'd describe it as itchy pain rather than pain. Anyways decided that was enough for a bath so I tried to get up and out. That's when it hit me, I had no strength to. So this is that embarrassing part of the story. I lived, only to then try to get out of bath. Really embarrassing. My nail broke as I tried to get out by pulling at the edge, but slipped. I looked at the watch, it took half an hour to figure out how to get out.
In the end the method was to roll on my stomach, curl up, sit, turn around, slide my legs under , sit again, and then grabbed one of those handles made for handicapped people (an old lady lived in this house before us). I could pull myself up just enough to have a crouch position, and my legs were strong enough to get me up and out. Then came the second hit when I had a rush of hot all along my body, and my vision get those stars again. I ran over to the chair and ended up fainting onto the table next to it. That probably broke my fall because my head doesn't hurt right now, apart from a migraine.
And then I woke again, had a rather fast heartbeat but I was fine. I don't know why I lived. But it was quite the experience. Maybe you'll giggle up on this one, or maybe you'll feel my pain and embarrassment. Whatever it is you are having, thanks for reading through my whining again.
