Once upon a time, many years ago...... Hubby suddenly collapsed in
pain, writing on the floor. This was a RED ALERT moment for me and i
went into full adrenaline fight/flight mode.

I assisted hubby out of the house to the car and into the car (now, he
weighs 1/3 more than i do and the car is down a hill on the street, so
i'm also manouvering him into a seat 2 feet lower than where i'm
standing (fortunately he's ? 8 inches or so taller than i am). He's
moaning and groaning and i'm panicing. I get the kidlet over to the
neighbours house so i don't have to worry about him and i dash back to
the car to take hubby to hospital.

He moans and writhes and says 'slower!'. I proceed VERY slowly to the
first red light and hubby screams 'no, go home!'

Now my fight flight is going nuts, the adrenaline is rushing and i'm SCARED.

We get back to the house whereupon i attempt to get hubby out of the car
(see the height problem i had). In tears, hubby says 'leave me here and
go call an ambulance.'

I'm spinning, literally spinning. I call 911 asking for an ambulance
and i go outside to make sure hubby is ok. Meanwhile, the police were
calling the house to check, and they are getting no answer (did i bring
the cordless with me?? heck no! i'm in full panic now).

So, the ambulance arrives and takes over for me TG!!! This is where i
realize i have that 'fear smell' and that i should best clean up before
i head to the ER following the ambulance. I tell the attendants & hubby
that i need to zip into the house and do a quick change and i'll be
right behind the ambulance to meet him at the hospital.

so, back into the house, strip for a quick sponge bath and change of
top............ and i hear someone at the door...... so, i'm trying to
clean my armpits while i walk out of the bathroom to get my bath robe
left in my bedroom........ the police didn't like the 4.3 second wait,
so they entered the house immediately

it was with my arm in the air that i met them as i opened the bathroom
door to get my bath robe

i don't know who was redder...... the cop, me, or everyone in chat who
was killing themselves laughing at my incident

i managed to appear 'somewhat composed' in the ER (I hope!)

but better...... is the night the Kelly spent screwing around all night
long
