Recent Medical Emergency
Hey guys, I'm not 100% sure where this is going to leave me, but here it goes:
This past Wednesday, February 26th, I suffered a major epileptic seizure while I was at work. I was assisting a customer, and the next thing I knew, I was on the ground with the Assistant Store Manager and paramedics standing over me. After being conscious for a few minutes, I passed out again, and didn't come back around until at least 30 minutes later when I was in the emergency room at the hospital. It wasn't until I awoke in the hospital that I was told what happened.
Now, I will be returning to work, but I won't be driving until further notice. Don't know where this whole incident will leave me as far as wrestling goes.... will provide further updates as they come.
Thanks for your understanding.

Take care.
Glad that folks responded to you fast!
(Used to date a gal who used to have seizures but I luckily never witnessed one.
She had mood swings - one time tried to kill her self by overdosing on her epilepsy medicine.
She called me and I rushed to an ER to pump her out.
That was scarier to me.)
