Thanks a lot guys. I'm 85 and these things are expected I guess. I doing pretty well today.

but I skipped lunch because we were almost done. I knew I was in trouble and drove the four wheeler to the house where I guess I passed out for a short while. Anyway, she called 911 on me.
When I came back to my senses I asked for a sandwich and some cookies. In a few minutes I was feeling much better and sitting on the couch when first the Fire Department arrived, then a Sherriff's Deputy, then the Rescue Squad, and finally my friends. They took my vitals and said I was OK, asked me some questions, and then left. I was embarrassed and also impressed. They did ask if there was anything I wanted but my request for a beer was ignored.
Back in the 80s as a collateral duty working for the Federal Govt. I taught courses in First Air and CPR but that was the first time I experienced it.
I thanked them all for coming to my party.

Are you diabetic? I've had a few times when I felt pretty woozy but have not passed out or had to call 911. Eating or drinking something very sugary helps fairly quickly. I have more issues with my blood sugar going high than low. High is bad for you but I don't feel any different.

I need to get serious about my diet and try to lose quite a bit of weight. Went in for a angioplasty/stenting in one of my leg arteries and they had to give up because they couldn't get a good enough view with the fluoroscope due to my fat belly. Haven't been back yet to see the surgeon. I can still walk but my legs get tired and hurt pretty quickly so I need frequent rests.

No, I'm not diabetic. I have the unique situation where we are just on hour away from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and my local Doc works with them on my health. I get the very best of health care. I'm just old and my blood sugar got too low, and I ran out of gas. They took all my vitals and they were fine but by then I had eaten half a sandwich and a couple or Orios.

Getting old is tough but I'm not dead yet.

I still think a beer would have helped.

I have my issues as well Coop. At the age we are, we DO have to rely on professional care and guidance, However, you certainly deserve that beer. I would!
I wish the best of health to you. Let's all enjoy what we have left...cheers

Don't know why my last post put Coop's quote under dave77's name.

I plan to spend the day messing around with a few things on our camper
