the first time I passed out I just remember the hustling of the EMTs, and this second almost time, I was able to recover.

Its that feeling before that is so awful....

I am sorry you have been a prolific fainter - since you can't always make sure you land in a soft place, that must hurt.

I am a prolific faller - I fall all the time, to the point I have learned to minimize the impact.

Thanks for the kind thoughts!
