we Rants, Thoughts and Adventures: Scariest morning

Things that I write in here are my thoughts, rants and experiences. If you take offense to anything read.. please let me know.. or just realize that I may not mean things the way they come across.. and if I do.. well it is a journal to vent my thoughts and expressions... so please take things lightly... though I will try to keep the bitching about others to a minimum... as there is enough bad karma in this world.. and I no longer want to add to that

Scariest morning

So this morning I woke up at 6:30am and rolled over to look at the clock. Since I did not have to get up until 7:30am, I tried to lift up my hand to pull the drapes closed and.... I couldn't. I quickly sat up and tried to move my arm but my arm went limp and I could not feel, let alone move my fingers. I quickly started to panick... oh my G-D I am in Korea and I will have to go to the hospital... I have no use of my right arm (I am right handed). Needless to say the panick button was hit and I was completely freaking out. After 10 minutes, my arm started to tingle and finally I was slowly able to move my fingers and arm from below the elbow.
I think that I may have cut the circulation to my arm by the way I was sleeping on it... but it was still the creapiest thing I have ever had occur to me. My arm is till stiff... but at least I can move it and have feeling.

That has happened to me on several occations and I have freaked out just as much as you. Once it happened while teaching - I got up from sitting on the ground and my legs were so numb that I couldn't feel anything. I actually collapsed after some crazy attempts at walking (I couldn't feel the ground, only the dead wait of my wobbly legs). I actually passed out afterwards. It is poor circulation. I suggest stretching more often.

I hope that your arm is feeling better Chelsea. I agree that is really creepy - I've had that happen to me, but never to such an extent that you had it happen to you.
