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. | |

And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you kids and your damn dog, too.
Criminal!"
Yes, I am the mastermind behind this plot.
Though if I was really trying to make him nauseous, wouldn't I have taken him to saturday market or hawthorne to inhale the real hippie stench?

Oh god! I got caught up in packing/moving and couldn't make the meetup. But if I would have heard that leg pop, there's a good chance I would have passed out too. I'm a big pussy ... Phew!
Glad to hear he's feeling better. Get well Tanner!!!

geez. that sucks. Hope you recover soon tantan!
There was a period at work where I was passing out a bunch, only hit my head on my keyboard once... And I couldn't really explain it. I wonder if this was the same thing?

So sorry to hear it.
But thankfully it happened around people who care....and not while driving or something scary like that.

Jeebus, I've only passed out from effects of alcohol, sometimes the morning after. My first thought was what caused the Nausea in the first place?
Terrible bit of luck there Tantan, take it easy and speedy recovery to you!

tantan, you know, when folks say, "break a leg!", they are wishing you good luck in your performance. they don't mean that you would actually go and break your leg! oh well, everybody's got to learn sometime. plenty of time laying with you leg up ought to help you learn the lesson. get well, dude!

I actually saw them, but didn't think to bring my scanner.
God, I am selfish.

OMG! so sorry to hear that... get well tantan! Has the food at the Vita gotten that bad? Please tell me you didn't put some of that "liquid aminos" crap on your food. That stuff looks like Miracle Gro or something. Oh and get your Vitamin D levels checked. There's no sun in PDX, you know
