But, I could feel the muscles pulling, and contorting and becoming steal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I quickly sent an email to the managers of a fair that my game is going to be played at today. I told them I was likely not going to be there this morning.\u00a0 However, I think I may be able to.\u00a0 My daughter is getting service hours, so I have to drop her off.\u00a0 I&#8217;m going to load up my chair and a laptop and see if everything is going well. Then return home and monitor the servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I then messaged my neighbor, asking her to come over for coffee. I was having an event and it was scaring me.\u00a0 She came and stayed with me until things settled down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t always get scared during episodes.\u00a0 However, this one was different.\u00a0 It lacked spasms, which was a great thing.\u00a0 Even though there were no spasms, the muscles were tightening up quick and hard.\u00a0 One of the earmarks is tears flow from my face due to my facial muscles tightening around the tear ducts.\u00a0 There is no controlling it.\u00a0 They just flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a few cramps and twists. My abdominal wall contorted under my pump which, not usually painful, completely freaks me out.\u00a0 The muscle wall contorting against an embedded metal object is really freaky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the episode completed, my wonderful neighbor went back to her home.\u00a0 I cannot express how thankful I am that she was here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I knew things were going to hurt later.\u00a0 She left, I ate and then finally slept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I woke up.\u00a0 It was payback time. My body realized it&#8217;s potential to inflict pain.\u00a0 I superloaded my body with protein, muscle relaxers and pain killers, causing my muscles to relax and heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This morning, I am thankful to God, my neighbor and modern medical professionals.\u00a0 They are the true heroes in this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Christ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jay C. \u201cJazzy_J\u201d Theriot<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jay C.
