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. | |

Seriously though, 3 months is quite a long time, but I kind of enjoyed hopping around on crutches because it's like learning a new skill. I can still jump fast on crutches now than I can run

Jebus I leave town for a few days and Roshi hatches this masterminded plot to take tantan to a nasea-induceing cafe, knowing it will stimulate Tantan's vagus nerve and cause him to pass out.
And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you kids and your damn dog, too.
Criminal!
Get well tantan. Weclome to the leg-up class.

Several other people fainted around me on the trip, but I hadn't quite made the connection, Zanf!
Hope you're doing ok Tanner, and it was really nice meeting all you guys. We're pretty set on moving up there, we really enjoyed ourselves.
We didn't realize how much we liked the people in Portland until we came back through Houston.
