Spooky

I ran into a friend that I played baseball with in the 70's. He was the baby on the team when he joined. He was 18. He is 49 now...where does the time go? I joined him at a bar nearby and had a beer or two recalling old times. Naturally, something caused me to cough. I blacked out briefly and when I was next aware of things, people were staring at me and my friend was sort of propping me up. What was more disconcerting was that I took longer to regain my senses. My head tingled and I was confused of my surroundings a little longer than usual. I must admit it spooked me a bit. I went home and I seem no worse for wear . I really dislike not being able to trust my body but what can I do? It's the only body that I have. I just don't know what's going on,Tom

Scary stuff my friend. For me, I really am aware of dehydration so let me throw this idea out to you. Alcohol dehydrates you. Drinking alcohol dehydrates further. Could it be a contributor? I also wonder about the combo of your meds and alcohol. Something to consider. Run it by your doctor at the next appointment okay?

I totally understand about your questioning your body...not trusting it. Time to readjust that thinking a bit. Time to turn your mind around and start truly caring for it, as you do you kids and wife, you know? Do not resent it for malfunctioning, but instead, show some concern and care. Or try to at least! Remind me of this when I need this reminder, okay??? :-D
