where's the worse place you've "woke up"


Just wondering if any one has had a seizure and came too in a strange environment? Or "unknown place"

Nothing major. No horror stories yet! Worst place so far besides a yucky bathroom floor was my face wedged between the fridge and cupboards.
acpollard2010: Outside city hall? Perhaps you were protesting or creating awareness without your knowledge! Did you just wake up and find your way home or did someone find you?

Nothing really odd, except once could feel aura coming on and thought I went down right next to the sliding patio door as I was coming in from the patio, but actually woke-up by the front door.

Probaly the foyer of a church,good old epilepsy reared its ugly head just before the funeral started.
Also the middile of the road,but it was a quite road so the first car saw me and decided not to run me over.
Finaly the air ambulance,first ever seizure so i was mighty miffed at that one!!!

Worst place - easily - was the middle of a busy restaurant parking lot (paved). Falling was easy because I was out and don't remember it. Getting up was no fun at all.

The first time was the worst: One minute I'm in the realtor's office signing a lease, the next thing I know I wake in the hospital hours later and folks are telling me I had a few seizures...

In my car in a ditch surrounded by strangers and cops and a firetruck off to the side with lights flashing. Opened my eyes and some guy (apparently a first aider, whew did I luck out!) was kneeling beside me telling me what just happened.

wandering around in traffic on a busy road. cars srweving around me and yelling. never did find my glasses. or in the back of an ambulance with someone holding my head telling me sit still i will only make it worse but they think they found my ear.
having to walk across reno after having a seizure during a thong contest in just my shorts and shoes was amuzing in its own way after seven years which i know is nothing compared to some of you. the stories rack up. and get old.

Guess I could mention going to bed one night and waking up in ICU. I will never know if a seizure is what put me there.

easy: the planet earth
hahaha
but the second grand mal was bad.
I was in the kitchen making dinner for everyone, woke up in the hospital.
They're all bad.
The physical pain isn't so bad. The mental confusion is the worst.
