I faint when I laugh too hard

I think I’ve mentioned that in this board before. I’ve seen a doctor about it, and they said it’s just a way my body reacts, similar to when a person sees blood and instantly goes out.

Normally, when I feel the intense laughing (usually during a night of drinking and playing card games) I stand up and head to the couch or something. This time, I made it about three steps. The lights went out, and I woke up to my wife shaking me awake. She’s used to it by now. Unfortunately, three steps wasn’t enough to make it to a couch, or anywhere with a soft landing. Apparently I fell headfirst into the wall. My head slid down after impact. There’s even a nice little chunk of hair stuck to the wall, and an obvious gash on my head. Somehow I managed to cut up my knee and left shoulder. It was probably a damper to end my wife’s birthday...and no pics.

Combined with the dog bite I suffered earlier this week, I feel like I have 6 wounds evenly spaced around my body. Getting older sucks. This week sucks. At least I have electricity now.
