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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
I had passed out.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
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?”<\/p>\n
Needless to say, it still bothers me some. Freaked Becca out. And made me put “resting” at a higher priority.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
