It was the most important morning of my adult life – one I had been looking forward to for months. After 18 wonderful years, my beautiful twin girls were graduating Westwood Secondary with honors. And my eldest Emily, was even chosen as the valedictorian.
When I first woke up I was so overcome with sheer excitement I didn’t even notice the dizziness, but as a heavyset guy, it happens from time to time. I just passed it off as nerves. Nothing could ruin this glorious day!
But about 20 minutes after waking up, I realized something wasn’t right. In fact that morning felt exceptionally off. A piercing headache was coming on, I was especially shaky and vision felt blurry.
