"The scariest thing happened to me today..."

I had a blackout.

I'd just got out the bath when I started feeling really sick. So I was standing over the toilet, trying to wrench, when suddenly I lost all power in my body and had to sit on the side of the bath.

That's the last thing I remember before I woke up in the bottom of the bath. Luckily I'd already drained the water, otherwise, well - y'know...

So I staggered out the bathroom, soaking wet and in a towel and collapsed again on my bed. It really shook me up - nothing like that has ever happened before. I told my Dad when I'd got over the worst of it and he called the hospital...who sent and ambulance - flashing lights and everything! I wasn't even feeling that bad at this point, but I wasn't sure if it was a blackout or a fit. I felt my head and legs swinging about uncontrolably as I came to, so for all I know I'd gone all Deacon on your bootys.

Anyway, hospital said it was a "Simple Faint". i.e, I was a pansy who got up too quickly. Really chuffing scary though.

Repling to the original post I always get an intsant power drain as soon as I get out of the bath, it has something to do with being sat down in water for a certain time, because it never happens when I have a shower.

I ALMOST know exactly what he's on about but something that bad has not happened to me before.

it sound like a stupid yank joke

Don't ask me, I just heard the joke and thought I'd pass it on. I don't understand it. :)

lol

I knew someone would write something like that!

I get them all the time after I have been sitting down for a long time...

I rarely faint though unless it's a really good one!

I just get VERY dizzy and can see much as it all goes all starry!

Last time I came close to fainting was after I had been sitting down playing my mates Xbox for a few hours...

I got up got all dizzy and fell over, didn't pass out though!

I'm gonna see if I can do it now, I've been sitting here for aaaaaagggges!

That happened to me once.

What I found funny was when monkey_man told me what Snuggly sent him in a text.

Very sympathetic there Ali :-D

Yeh my vision goes when i get out of a hot bath

What's wrong with everyone? Does no-one know how to take a bath properly?
