fragile

I just fainted at the Duane Reade on Fifth Avenue.

When I came to, a man with expensive shoes hailed me a cab. I cried all the way home. If the baby jesus and I were still on good terms, I'd be inclined to take the matter up with him. But as it stands, I think I'll just go lie down.

And fuck what the movies say, people. You fall forward when you faint.

Now that's an impressive hangover. Hope you are ok.

I hope you feel better and that it's simply a hangover, nothing more. Wishing you a speedy recovery and many more trips to Fifth Ave.

COme to think, I've always fallen forward too. Except this one time when I feel straight down in a sort of crumply fashion. Hope you are feeling a little better now..

I hope you're feeling better. Fainting is always scary. Rest up, I'm sure you'll be better in the morning!

Yikes! I hope you're feeling alright now. What's up with the fainting stuff?

Damn! I say, Damn!...it prolly woulda been a little much to throw up on those expensive shoes, eh? My bet is that you are in hormone tornado cycle with all the changes and misfunctions on that stupid pill. Get Better.

I fainted for the first time at work a couple of months ago. I fell backward. Landed on concrete. I had the bump on the back of my head (and the concussion) for about three weeks to prove it.

Hope you improve ... this is worrisome.

My fainting is always crumpling, like my knees dissolved. Hope you're ok. Sending love your way...
