We drove around 3.5 hrs from LA and before that there wasn’t much time to breathe, let alone “rest” in a restroom. But it was fine. I could manage. Our restroom travelled with us.

We got settled and mostly hooked up at the Shadow Hills RV Resort in Indio near Indian Wells. We sat for a light dinner and some breathing time. After eating, at one moment my stomach (lower) moved very painfully. It passed. Then all I remember was Becca yelling my name and getting up, shaking my shoulder.

I had passed out.

I have never before passed out. Came close a few times and have been knocked unconscious a time or two in soccer. And even came close to blacking out recently when ill, but never passed out.

Becca said she saw me just slump over with my eyes wide open, dilated and when I came to, said I grabbed my chest. Her first thoughts were “heart attack”. Okay, I am 9 years older but really?

It was freaky. I started profusely sweating after that and was very disoriented. I don’t remember feeling it come on and think back that my chest clutching could have been a security “what’s going on” physical reaction… like “am I here?”

Needless to say, it still bothers me some. Freaked Becca out. And made me put “resting” at a higher priority.

When I said to Becca earlier “you need to know how to drive it (RV)… in case I am unconscious”… I really hoped not to mean it.

But you never know!
