Ok,well I'm still at home waiting to be reassigned a truck. Maybe a little history is in order. On the 18th of December 08, I started to get out of bed and passed out. Approximately 2 hours later this happened again, on the third try I went a lot slower and was able to stand and go about my morning routine. Later that day I went to Russellville Ar. to pick up a load bound for Atlanta, Ga. I had attributed that mornings problem with bad Chinese take out from the night before. Got loaded very late.
At 3:00 am on Thursday the 18,I was finally loaded, I slept until 8:00 am and drove to a rest area 8 miles west of Jackson, Tn. When I started to get out of the truck, I almost passed out again. Then I called 911 and my wife. I also called my dispatcher. The ambulance arrived in about 10 minutes and took me to the hospital. After all day in emergency they still had not determined what had caused the problem. Because of previous heart problems (which were and still are under control) they did those kind of tests first, all showed no problems. Finally on the 22 of December 08, they released me. My son had driven my wife to Jackson, so we came home to East Texas. The final diagnosis
was a simple ear infection, however because of the holidays it took until the 8th of January 09, to get in to see an Ear specialist, in order to get a release to return to work. Which puts me at home waiting on a truck. Zero income is not a good feeling. Therefore I am very anxious
to get back to work.
