When your wife know you. [View all]

This event was disturbing at the time but my wife's description is funny.
I get esophageal spasms. It feels like your esophagus is going to explode. Hold on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride. It hurts like hell.
I got one the other night at the kitchen sink. Little did I know but there is this thing called the Vagus nerve and it can shut you down. This spasm was bad and would not stop. Next thing I know I am on waking up on the floor. Now I need to explain why I am on the floor. I did not get dizzy or light headed just collapsed. However the spasm was gone! I went to the doctor in the morning. I was lucky I did not hit my head. I said to the doc, so when I get a spasm I should sit down. Um yea. He also said old people sometimes get Vegus nerve reactions on the toilet. So I have that to look forward to. This getting old ain't for the weak.

My wife said "I knew something was really wrong because I heard all the crashing but no cussing." That made me laugh.
