Haven't we all? :lol:

The last time i passed out... I think i was either 13 or 14. We were playing baseball, and the ball hit me in the forehead. Knocked me down, cold. The school's "coach" thought i was dead!
 
Car accident here. I was out cold for about 1 hour or at least thats what the doc said. I ended up staying in the hospital for about 1 week. Food was the worst but the docs where the best. :) I ended up having a few air spots in my head and a fractured skull. Other then that havent been knocked out since.
 
I was out for about 5 seconds or so when a baseball hit me in the forehead.

I was going into my third season of playing little league baseball. In case you're curious it was the Cleveland Indians. I was 10 at the time. Note that I was the only girl on the team. :nervous:
We were at our 3rd practice. Instead of being put in my usual position of left field, they put me at either short stop or third base. I don't really remember. Well, this guy who I really didn't like as it was, hit the ball and it went straight at me! :scared:
Let me put it this way: THAT-WAS-PAINFUL.
Luckily I didn't have any severe damage; just a giant bruise the size of an orange on my forehead. :ouch:
My mom pulled me out after that and put me in Softball instead. It was obviously for the best. :( I played about 6 seasons of that as catcher for all seasons. That part was fun! But I quit about two years ago. Six seasons of Softball just couldn't make up for the two seasons of baseball that I played. I miss it.

But yup, I was out for 5 seconds.
 
You and me both, Blazing!

Actually, I got hit in the nose with a baseball. I was nine when it happened, but I remember it like it was yesterday.

I was on first, and the kid at bat hit the ball to center field. Bear in mind that this was Little League, so the center fielder is as close to second base as you can be and still be in the outfield. ;)

So, I make a mad dash for second. Got there with time to spare. I remember watching the kid scoop up the ball, and throw it to second at top speed - while turning. That ball got big in a hurry. It couldn't have taken more than a second to get to me, but it seemed like a minute or more.

Next thing I knew, I was flat on my back...unable to breathe through my nose or open my eyes. I was positive I'd been blinded. I remember hearing al the voices around me, and someone blotting the blood from my face. I found out later my coach had used his sweatshirt to try and stop the bleeding...I don't rightly recall if we ever did get it clean. :lol:

At any rate, my septum remains deviated to this day. My right nostril is almost useless. Perhaps someday I'll get it set straight, but Lord only knows when.

I've also had a seizure. That was just a couple of years ago. Never had one before or since, and I still have no idea what triggered it. I wasn't unconcious - I just remember an awful feeling ripping through my body (convulsions) that I couldn't control. I was sure that I was dying. Believe me, I'd have rather lost conciousness. Here's to hoping it was the first and last, eh?

Ah, the joys of the Great American Pastime. Hotdogs, Coke, and unconciousness.

Maybe it was stress or an anxiety attack that trigered the seizure? I've heard that an be a cause.
 
There's a thought. I was watching In the Actors Studio with Jack Lemmon, which doesn't seem particularly stressful. :D

Seriously, that makes sense. I'd been having a lot of heartburn...so who knows what was gnawing at me. I've had twitches all my life, too.
 
Well, it was actually about a month ago. I was just hanging out with my friends on the sidewalk, heading to his house when Steven, a kid who just like to joke people and crap, tries to scare me by pushing me into the street. I was pushed in front of John Lindo's Integra (its won a few carshows, looks pretty nice). I saw it coming and jumped (he wasnt going to fast, like 15-25 MPH). Your supposed to jump so you can slide over the windshield, over the roof, and off the back of the trunk. Well, he has a wing and that's what I hit. That's the last thing I remember. Woke up with a Bumch of pain (nothing broken though, as he wasnt going fast)...
