A not-so-memorable Christmas Eve

 So there we wee at The Melting Pot.  I hadd just finished dinner but we had not ordered dessert.  

Suddenly I had very bad muscle cramps in my left leg.  Really painful. 

I decided to walk it off.  

Walking helped the leg cramps, but when I got up the restaurant lobby I suddenly didn’t feel well.  I sat down on the bench.

And the next thing I knew. I was lying on the floor, bleeding from a small gash just above my right eye.   

One of the restaurant employees is an EMT.  Another is a paramedic.  They were already with me when I came to, I’d been unconscious for about 15 seconds.

You can guess the rest - an ambulance ride to the nearest hospital, several hours in the ER, a whole bunch of tests . The doctor stitched up my cut, told me she had no idea why I fainted, and sent me home at 2:30 in the morning.

Not exactly the way I planned my Christmas
