Vortex, I'm glad you got checked out last night.
She just... she just did the math.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad you called the nurse, Vortex. It's probably a pinched-nerve thing, but when the body does something it hasn't done before, it's always better to follow up and make sure.
I wish I had a million dollars for every time I've had to answer an email from someone because they didn't bother to read all the way through the initial email. This guy cannot find the link to his proof! It's at the bottom, Professor Busyman, clearly marked, right where the opening paragraph says it will be. (I would rewrite this whole letter to make it easier for people who don't read more than the first couple sentences, but it isn't up to me. Even so, the link is RIGHT THERE. Hundreds, nay, thousands of our authors have had no trouble at all. I don't think the problem is us.)

For real, we have the SAME JOB. Because this is how we send out proofs, and this problem with authors not reading the damn email crops up WAY more often than it should. (My other favorite is when the subject line says "Edited manuscript ready for [blah blah article name]: SUBMIT CHANGES by 7/23" and the author emails back to say "I have received the manuscript. When are changes due?" I can't decide if they're *that* dim or just trolling me.)
