That sounds scary as hell. Like, really scary. I had an episode about a year ago where I had trouble staying conscious... everything kept going dark, I couldn't stand or sit upright. I felt like I was just barely hanging on. I had to crawl to the car so Andi could drive me to the hospital and I didn't know if I was going to make it. It wasn't fun. I guess my blood pressure just dropped really really low. I feel like we're at that age where it's getting harder to shrug things off (not that you were in a shrug-it-off situation). Last weekend I lost the ability to flex my left foot upwards. So I kept falling down as I couldn't walk correctly. Part of my leg is numb, and I wonder, is this bad? But it's happened before and usually gets better. And I really don't want yet another doctor appointment. I feel like I want to accomplish more in life than just see medical providers. People seem to always wonder why some octogenarian didn't go to the ER when they had chest pain indicating a heart attack... well, I get it. They had pain in their chest on and off for 80 years and it wasn't a heart attack. Until it was. Fuck, I'm rambling. I'm just glad that you came out of that episode okay. I'm trying not to take anything for granted, health-wise, anymore.
Ok people. The only one who commented on this post is my mom. I need a little help here.
I love this so much! You should do stand-up.

great mix of fear and funny.
“That was anti-climactic.”
“In more ways than one.” He responds.
"That's what she said!"
(sorry, I know this was scary...and am so happy all is well...but I just felt like this needed one more line of dialogue)
