ill try to keep this short.
Last Monday about 8pm while i was online playing a game.
I dont recall
too much after that
Here is what my online pals said happened,my character had timed out and they could hear some movement from my headpnone.they have known me for years and knew what was going on.one from Virginia got on google found the dispach number for my local sherrif,im in Ca.He described to them what was going on,they issued a 911 and i awoke to the sherrif pounding on the door, along with the FD,and EMT.dont recall alot but stayed in the hospital for 4 days.and was home alone.....

sometimes freinds in far away places is a good thing.

That is an amazing! Wow. People do care. I'm sorry that you had to be in the hospital for 4 days and I hope you're feeling better. But thanks for sharing. Brought a tear to my eye. That must have been quite a doozy.
 
That is the best news for sure! Who knows what could have happened! Shudder.
 
WOW! Thats amazing that there are people around the world, miles away that can help like that.
 
Sorry to hear about the stay in hospital, hope you feel better soon. But glad your online friend was able to help from so far away.

I have had a couple complex partial seizures while talking to my American Friend on Messenger. She usually realised when I was having a seizure because when I typed it made no sense. There were a couple of times my American friend had rung my Mum here in Australia to let her know she thought I was having a seizure. My Mum lives 30 mins away so all she would usually ring me to see if I was ok.

There are still some good people left! Big high five to your online buddy. Sorry that you had to stay in the hospital, but no injuries, that is great. Are back gaming yet?
 
That's great -- right time, right place, right friends. Hope you are feeling better now.

Was the gaming a trigger, or was that just coincidental?
