Today was a rough day:
First, while at work, I had a digestive issue which caused me to have to go home and work from there so I could be close to the toilet.
Second, my son called me later in the day, saying that he had fainted during band practice, and that his mom was wondering if he should go to the doctor. I was upset with her and concerned for him. I went with them to his doctor, and they ran tests to confirm that he is OK. No cardiac abnormalities. It turns out that he was standing for a long time without moving his legs, and without flexing his leg muscles, so blood was pooling in them and his brain wasn't getting enough.
It's been a helluva day, and I'm glad to be headed for bed. No dancers for me tonight, just the Sandman.
