Default I'm Alive - Ambulance update

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that helped me out after I smacked the asphalt yesterday at LA Invasion. They were not really sure why I passed out, but I did get a concussion from the impact. Yesterday I guess I had no idea where I was or what year we were in. Today I am feeling better, I still have very little recolection of yesterday at all, but I know for sure it is 2012. ha jk. Tomorrow I am going to try and see a neurologist.

wasn't there... wtf happened?

EDIT: nevermind... just read the other thread...


I've passed out many times before... I've got Vasovagal Syndrome and in my case is usually triggered when giving blood, seeing needles, or in a hospital / doctors office area... something about that **** just freaks me out LOL

Feels like your dying. Not fun at all...

Good to hear your back and well man.

Id say doin better but not fine until they figure out why he's passing out, he's not allowed to drive or go up stairs or go to work.

By the way people describe it it sounds pretty brutal, i have heard people pass out and have their head smack against concrete and it is a pretty bone chilling sound. I still remember that sound and i dont really care to hear it again.

Glad to hear your doing better.

actually he landed on asphalt, it wasnt concrete.... even though its hard to believe asphalt is alot softer then concrete and it does make a big difference

definitely true... long distance runners will attest to the "cushioning" of asphalt. still wouldnt want to smack my head on it though.

hmm never really thought there would be much of a difference but i will take your word for it. It does make sense though, i am sure every little bit helps when your talking about head trauma.

So how often do you guys pass out?

My girl passed out on me once. Scariest **** of my life. She told me she was dizzy, less than a second later she fell limp in my arms, I layed her down and she was lifeless. I before I could check her pulse and her breathing, she slowly started to come back. The whole thing must have lasted a matter of 10 seconds, but it felt like mins. I almost ran to call 911, but she came to and said she was fine.
