I joined up with Kevin for a day on the baby shoe of Abrams. After waiting in line at the gate for half an hour we made our drive to the falls parking area. It was a gorgeous morning with mist in the air and the smell of charred wood after the controlled burns which took place earlier in the week. I guess we began fishing at about 8:30 in the morning. It was instantly a challenge. The water was somewhat stained but at an ideal 54 degrees. We saw sulphurs and some Little yellow stones but no top activity at all. I used a BH Prince size 10 all day and managed to catch 11 bows. I caught one fish which I thought was big and hollered at Kevin. Man I got a big one, well when it came to hand it was 9 inches. I don't know where that trout got it's strength from. We finished fishing at about 3pm and began our trek back. NOW FOR THE INTERESTING PART.
I started feeling a little slow and weak. Kevin was walking briskly in front of me and I was just feeling out of shape. I thought this was just from not fishing much and sitting at home all winter. I was also very hungry which is not normal for me since I had eaten a good breakfast and several fruit bars on the stream.
We said our good byes and I went to LRO to pick up some flies. I talked to Daniel for second while I was picking out some flies. I began to fell extremely fatigued and disoriented in the store. I apologized to Daniel for being kind of tired and not talking like my usual self. I checked out and went over to the Pizza Hut across the street. I got a drink and ate some food and felt a little better.
Then after leaving the restaurant I got the same feeling again. I got real dizzy and felt nauseated. I knew it wasn't the food since I had the same feeling inside LRO about forty minutes earlier. I sat in my car for five minutes and I felt okay enough to drive. I felt somewhat okay during the drive to Knoxville because I was holding my head still against the headrest in my car.
Then it happened. I was 300 yards from my driveway, and I felt extremely dizzy and nauseated. I made it to my house and hollered to my wife we might have to call an ambulance. I stumbled to my bed like a drunk and my wife hollers what you do want? Ambulance or not? I said well let me just lie here for a while. I laid on that bed until 10 pm without moving. I couldn't go to the bathroom or nothing. If I tried to rise the whole room would spin and my eyes would get this black bars blurring my vision. I lied awake most of the night and had to call in sick this morning. I am still feeling a little dizzy but better.
Anyone have any idea what this was? sure makes for an interesting day.
