911

Got up this morning around 2 am to go to the bathroom. Next thing I know I'm in an ambulance on the way to the emergency room.

Passed out mid-pee. Robin heard me crash, couldn't wake me up, threw water on me, beat my chest, called 911.

They did cat scan, EKG, blood sugar, chest xray, and put an IV in my arm. I was still pulling tape off me this morning.

All clear. Just felt weak as a kitten. They cut me loose and we walked home (2 blocks) in my bathrobe and slippers a couple hours later. I don't remember much of it, actually, but eventually I felt better. Feel almost 100% today. VERY hungry and thirsty today. (Had a big dinner last night so that wasn't it.)

Dr. said it's not any of the major causes. No heart attack, stroke, tumor, diabetes... Not drugs nor booze, either, of course. More a "cascade" of different causes caused a big drop in blood pressure... Nurse said not to "bear down" when I pee (I don't think I bear down when I pee).

Robin was there the whole time which made me feel better and saved me from having to repeat what happened (since I was exhausted and also didn't know some of it).
