Worst feeling of my life
So let me start off by saying, my husband has been feeling under the weather all week. I assumed it was a cold/flu & he mainly stayed home & rested for the majority of the week. Yesterday he was feeling better so we went out & got our hair cut, did errands, etc. Since we are doing the C25k program we decided to get in our last workout of the week.
After dinner we tried to find a movie to watch, we couldn't really find anything good, so we decided to rent 127 hours off itunes. (The movie is true story based on a man who goes hiking & gets his arm caught under a boulder & has to cut it off we a dull knife in order to escape). Well the part came on the TV where the main character has to cut off his arm so I closed my eyes & asked DH to tell me when it was over. All of a sudden DH said "I'm really tired". I got up to look at him when I saw him get this blank stare and his head moved back & forth & he was groaning. I kept calling his name & he would not answer & his hold body went limp. I ran to the phone & called 911 -- at some point he woke up while I was on the phone.
When I got off the phone with the 911 operator DH kept telling me "I'm ok" His face was still pale so I still wanted to make sure he was okay. The police stopped by first, and DH was extremely embarrassed. Apparently when he was 13 the same thing happened, he was sick and went to see a gruesome movie & he passed out in the theater. He never told me this & I've never seen anyone pass out. The EMTs finally arrived & he checked out so we didn't send him to the ER.
This morning I took him to the walk-in clinic & he got antibiotics b/c they think he has a bacterial infection/sinusitis. I think I am going to stay home with him tomorrow & make sure he is ok. I hope this never happens again, it was the worst feeling in the entire world watching him go through that.

Yikes I'm glad it was a minor thing in the end...but do you think his feeling tired and flu-like prior to this episode had anything to do with the episode itself? (reaction to the film?)
You mentioned something about how he'd been tired or something (right??).
I'm glad he's ok! :-/
That's AWFUL! And why I could so NEVER watch that movie. I saw a 20/20 interview, actually a 2 hour special where the actual person told the whole story, along with video he shot while he was trapped. it was SO awful, but I couldn't stop watching it. When I heard they made a movie out of it, I was like, there's no way I could ever watch that. hearing him describe cutting his own arm off was awful enough. I get nauseous just thinking about it.
So yeah, tell your husband I'm with him! I probably would have passed out too. Poor guy, I hope he's okay!
