Tennis Blackout

Alright, Have you ever fainted?...If you have then you know that right before you faint your vision starts to close in...so that all you can see is just a tiny dot in front of you, your eyes roll back, then you lose sight completely, and you've fainted. Sometimes if you stand up to quickly or climb stairs to quickly your vision can start to close in. This is slightly inconvenient, because you for a moment or two can't see and you have to hold on to something to make sure you don't fall but all in all its not a problem unless you lose sight completely. Well today I found a time when it is a little more than inconveniant to have a blackout, and that is when you are playing a sport. I was at my tennis clinic and I guess I must have been a little tired, and a bit dehydrated. I was in the middle of a point and I had just hit the ball when my vision started to close in. All I could think was "Oh No!"...fainting on court probably wouldn't be the best thing to do...anyways my vision was closing in and the other girl hit the ball over. The shot should have been easy, (and it would have been had I been able to see the ball.) I completely missed the ball, then (of course after I had already blown the point) my vision returned, and my opponent gave me an odd look...(a look like "I can't believe you completely missed that shot it was right to you")...and then she served I lost that match. Anyways point of the story...I hate blackouts, I could have won that match!

Luv ya all!
