Julie: I got sick yesterday afternoon, crampy abdominal pain and malaise. Robin and girls went out to dinner without me. I met up with them in the evening only to realize that I really was sick and sent them on their way on their hunt for dessert, thought I'd just buy myself some food in cause I felt better later. While waiting at takeout counter in restaurant on Passeig de Gracia, I felt really bad and had a syncopal episode -- out cold on floor. Sweet young off duty police came to my aid, flashed me his badge for reassurance. I think my underwear may have been showing while I was lying on ground. Ambulance, medics, vitals and blood sugar checked in the back of the rig -- the whole works. Was provided with advice to go to farmacia to purchase pastillas for pain like aspirina. No charge or unnecessary trip to ED for liability reasons. All conducted in broken medical Spanish recalled from med school and French. Spanish first responders were all quite nice. Fortunately, I made a reasonable recovery by the following evening, after spending the day stuck in our apartment. All is well that ends well. Cost me two days of cava drinking though. Robin was forced to take up the slack.
