Due to blood sugar problems and naturally low blood pressure, I have long been prone to passing out under certain conditions. Last night I got myself into trouble, apparently due to some dental surgery, and perhaps due to a problem with novacaine. I'm still not sure exactly what happened, but after cleaning the area where the incision was made [as instructed], I realized that I was going to pass out. Being in the bathroom at the time I could only kneel down with the hope of making it all the way down before falling and hitting my head. I didn't make it. Some unknown time later, I assume a few seconds, I came to while still on my knees, upright, with absolutely no idea what had happened. Since it took a good five seconds to begin to get my bearings, I know that I was out cold for at least a moment. How I managed to stay up on my knees is a complete mystery. [edit: maybe all those years spent as a Catholic?] I must have looked pretty funny kneeling there while completely unconscious!
It really knocked me for a loop. Twenty four hours later and I'm still kind of out of it. This is rare but I've been through it eight or nine times [or so] in my life. So its really nothing to worry about but it sure as hell ain't fun!
