Needles and Coffee Tables
Well, lets see. If i dont hurt myself enough already. Anyways, as most of you know i was put in the hospital this weekend. On saturday, i didnt eat much of anything but an energy drink which drained my system. Well, if you have ever seen the opening scene of "GhostShip" then you will know i why i fainted. It was pretty gross. Anyways, i fell about five feet from a bar stool at a friends apartment. I hit my head on a coffee table, and when i saw my own blood, i passed out cold. I woke up when i saw my roommate there holding a towel to my head. I was soon rushed to the DCH hospital in Tuscaloosa. You know what DCH stands for? DONT COME HERE. Anyways i got a catscan and some xrays. Around four and a half hours later, i was going to be stitched up. After being stuck five times with lydocaine, i passed out again. Stephen Rogers and my sister were there. They remained calm, but still very worried about me. Anyways when i passed out again, my heart rate dropped really low. I was then admitted to the hospital to have my heart checked out. I got a EKG and a bunch of test done on my heart. I also had low potassium level. Well i spent the rest of the day in the hospital getting checked out. They wouldnt let me leave till my blood pressure and potassium was back to normal. I left with a bruised face, and a huge cut above myleft eyebrow. I also had fractured my nose. Thats about it. Currently my bruises are going away. And my head doesnt hurt much anymore. I heal up pretty well.
Yall pray for me that i do not scar to badly. I miss you all, and i want to remind everyone about our meeting in a week and a half.
If more info is needed on how i fainted and the rest of the story just ask.

For those who dont know, the new Rascal Flatts cd is out. Andrew you have to give me some feedback on this one. I think it is pretty good. For me, it makes me think about ME and MY GANG. To all the PBs out there, i love ya. Check out the new cd.

Dude I'm really sorry. I'll definently be praying for ya, but I dont quite understand what caused you to faint. Anyway, I'm glad your ok, it could have been a lot worse.
On the Rascal Flatts cd, (I just typed "its awesome" here, then read Nawill's comments, and decided I didnt want to sound like an echo, so I deleted it out). I've got a few tracks from it available online, but I'll send you the link via Facebook, I dont want to give it out on here. I also have the entire album on my iPod so you are welcome to listen to it anytime you want next weekend at the meeting. Take care man ;)
Joe, I guess he's the guy who's sensitive to the sight of blood? Even his own. (nothing to be ashamed of by the way, you probably aren't ashamed anyway....moving on...)
Hope you get well and come to OUR meeting, we'll be at yours!
RASCAL FLATTS ROCK!!!!! WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!
LUV YA!
Yes...he is a little sqeemish. And don't worry about the scar Derrick...Chic's dig em'. Or so the song goes.
YOU'RE SO RIGHT!!! WE DIG SCARS!!!!
yeah.....
hehe
oh brother, i love you.
oh and yea for people coming to our meeting. Of course we will be at ya'lls whitney. At least, as much as we can.
wow, didn't know that. Glad you're recovering! See you at the meeting, Lord Willing.
The Rascal Flatts CD is..as Nathan said...AWESOME!!!
"Chic's dig em'"...oh yeah, scars are SO attractive..*rolls eyes* lol
Well I know you hate advice but I'm giving it to you anyways. Quit energy drinks. Make sure you're getting a minimum of 6 1/2 hours of sleep a night. And, add some sort of dairy to your diet. I recommend yoplait nouriche yogurt smoothies. That should get a hold on any potassium imbalances and any other vitamins you're missing out on. Oh, and I think the dumptruck incident is still my fave although this one is pretty humorous.
Hello? I'm I the only one who knows this?
Bananas are a VERY good source of potassium
i just had a banana smoothie :D
...and drank it on the way home as I drove my car in the most wreckless, yet fun, way possible.
Glad you're ok, Derrick!
I think Joe drank his banana smoothie upside down!! That would be a very dangerous and reckless way to do it!
Sorry about the DCH incident. Hope your mental scars heal quickly.
While I'm not what I would call a "Rascal Flatts fan," I have to admit that his new CD is, indeed, awesome.
Rascal Flatts is awesome. We listened to him a lot when we were riding with the Blevinses. I had such a great time at y'alls meeting. I miss you all so much!
