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.

Oh... I was waiting for a punchline, or something humourous in SHEEPY's post... but it was serious

Ah well

That happened to me once... got out the bath... walked to bedroom then it went all black and I woke up on the floor.

Dangerous... could smash your head open or in your case drown.

73% of assassinations take place whilst the victim is "relaxing" in the bath, don't you know... yes.
I think your noble self should bear this in mind.
A beam in the shade from a silvery blade, and you'll be sanguine ribbons before you can say "where's my ducky".

Shower when I want to be clean.
Bath when I to calm the psychopathic urges that course through my head when faced with a simple lunchtime trip into town, only to be met with wide-faced goober mongs that cannot manage to negociate simple tasks like walking in a straight line or leaving a car park

or, be sensible and shower first, then bathe.

Bathing isn't a method of cleaning, it's a method of relaation.

Get with the times you squalid peasant.

Having a bath is a medieval form of self-cleansing.
Move into the 21st century and get a power-jet shower.

Anyway, I always get head rushes when I get up. Things go dark and I stumble around before things return to normal. They're fun

Thing that does bother me is the shake I get in my leg, as if the muscles inside are having a mini-spasm which I can't control. That, and the constant cramp attacks I get in my legs which cause un-godly amounts of pain. Might get myself checked out someday...
