So, the nurse advice line advised me to call 911. I felt really stupid, but I did it (and then ran around frantically cleaning my place). EMTs came, took BP (little high but not unexpected given the fact I'd been told to call 911). Refused transport to hospital, will go to the doctor in the morning.

Our wings are not tired.
Okay, so I was out power walking tonight, and my right leg started to tingle
When I have had that issue the chiropractor fixed it. It happened to me often when I marathon trained.

Vortex, I'm glad you got checked out last night.

Never feel stupid for calling 911.
I hope it's something that's resolved with a number of PT sessions with an attractive therapist.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Never feel stupid for calling 911.
If one were calling because one's internet stopped working during a power blackout, I'd be ok with feeling a little stupid.

I think someone who does that, like the people who have called about bad pizza or poor service, is unable to feel stupid.

Vortex, I am glad you are okay. I've had various bits fall asleep/go numb as I'am walking, but I usually think a trapped nerve in invovled. The tingling afterward would concern me too.
I did laugh about you cleaning the place after calling 911. I would so do that!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Vortex, so glad it wasn't an emergency. I hope you get relief and a diagnosis soon.

Vortex I'm glad it was not an emergency. But when the consulting nurse tells you to call 911, calling 911 is a good idea.

Vortex Health Update:
Not dead. Slept like crap because I kept waking up to make sure I wasn't dead. Went to Urgent Care. They took some blood and sent me for a CAT scan. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow.
Thanks for the help, hivemind!
Although the nurse line 911 thing is kind of de rigueur. If there's a chance in hell, they tell you to call 911 as a CYA measure.
