Immediately afterwards I vomited. Someone there called for an ambulance and I stayed at the hospital for 12 hour observation to check for a possible concussion. Afterwards I just went home.
I don't remember fainting, or the leadup to it, but that is what I've been told happened. Luckily, my backside took the blow from falling, so I didn't get a concussion. Reason I fainted was probably a mix of dehydration, too many beers (3 liters over the course of some 5 hours) & standing up too quick.
I don't know what would be worse, seeing it coming, or not remembering it and being told by others what happened afterwards.
As a person having a hole in their memory from a car accident, I feel little pain from not knowing what happened at all. I think remembering would have been far more traumatic.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
