Got no time but I sold the headlamp!
I was in Maryland last week visiting my family and attending a jazz camp with my pops and my bro so I never had a moment to get to the blog. John graciously mailed off the headlamp for me which sold for $17.99. Yeah! I did bring home a chachka from my childhood that you will soon see for sale along with a second chachka for the week. I also recorded some of the music making that happened last week. It’ll be up on Friday.
I promised you bloopers and I keep my promises:
Click Here! and Click Here!
Now that I have embarrassed myself: This is very important! Try to swallow your tongue!
So, this weekend I was spending time with some good friends. Everyone was having some wine and when I was offered some I declined on account of my seizure meds. This prompted some joking…”drink anyways, we’ll take care of you, don’t worry, I’ll put my wallet in your mouth so you don’t swallow your tongue!” Wait! “Are you serious?!” He was totally serious! This scares me! My friend Adrienne was on a bus when a gentleman had a seizure. Someone wanted to put a pen in his mouth. Again, What?! No one can swallow their tongue! If you can, you should put a video up on youtube and become famous already. For those of you who are tempted to put something in the mouth of a person having a seizure follow these steps:
1. Restrain yourself from putting anything in the person’s mouth!
2. Simply roll them on their side and make sure they aren’t going to bang into anything.
3. Protect their head from smashing into anything.
4. Look at your watch and time the seizure…if it goes more than 2 minutes or the person begins to turn blue call 911
5. When the person comes out of the seizure they will be totally confused and say/do strange things that they won’t remember later…just reassure them and keep them out of harm’s way until they regain their senses.
