Just a blog to let you know that tantan is all right and he's at home now, starting the slow process of healing his broken leg. So I decided to post this get well blog for him so you all can wish him better.
What happened? Well, we were all meeting up at Vita cafe, as part of a em411 real life meetup with Deltasleep. As we were talking, Tantan said he felt nauseous and basically passed out. Ignatius made a valiant effort to catch him but it all happened way too fast - I'm just glad he managed to prevent him from banging his head.
Unfortunately, the way he landed he broke his leg up both at the knee and ankle. Mapmap called an ambulance for him and we tried to make him comfortable. Anyhow, the ambulance came quickly and took him away. We managed to get hold of Connie (his wife), and she took it from there. He now has a thigh high fiberglass cast and they think it's going to be three months for recovery. Fortunately, he can telecommute from home starting next week.
Why did he pass out? Evidently nausea can trigger the vagus nerve, which can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure. They kept him at the hospital for a couple nights on a heart monitor, but they think he has a sensitive vagus nerve (why does it sound dirty when I type that?)
Anyhoo, I'm glad he didn't die, and I hope you are too. | |

this is what happens when people from the south come to visit ;)
glad he is doing OK. spoke to him today and he sounded good all things being considered. he said he isn't supposed to put any weight on his leg for 3 months. i can still hear the pop when he fell but it's starting to fade and i'm less squeamish about it.. but damn.. that had to hurt. so glad there was a group of us there to deal with it.
thanks for the update Roshi.

get well Mr T - vagus drops are weird - i used to have them - it just shows that these em411 meets are more dangerous than you'd expect - perhaps we should all stick with internet only relations?
