I rode to work on the spyder today and was having a good day until around 9:15am. I was standing in my work area during a group meeting, and I suddenly had a very sharp pain in my right index finger. I've had this happen before from what I think is a bone chip or bone spur from an injury that I had a about 4 years ago. Anyhow, as I'm standing there the pain was so bad that I started to feel faint with a dizzy feeling and suddenly, I passed out and hit my head just under my left eye on one of the machines that I work on at my work station. Nevertheless, when I woke up, seconds after the episode, at the moment I didn't know what happened, but my co-workers were very concerned. I was just dammed embarrassed by the whole mess. An ambulance was called in and I was taken to the hospital to get checked out. I was checked and released within a couple hours. I'm fine and will be ok. I just have a small bruise under my left eye. I made an appointment to have xrays done on my finger and hope I can find what causes the pain.
I had to go home and rest for the remainder of my day. I was not in
any condition to ride my spyder back home, but a friend that I work with, who rides a harley offered to take the spyder back home for me. I was
a little weak feeling and considered this to be a good choice for me. So I was able to get a ride back with one of my managers and my friend John got in my riding jacket and helmet, I showed him the controls on the spyder and told him just to remember the foot brake and no hand brake. He fired it up ran around the parking lot a few times to get used to it and we were off to my place about 20 miles away. I got home ok and John just had a smile on his face when he arrived with the spyder. He never rode a spyder before,so this was all fun for him and he thanked me for taking the rest of the day off lol! Not a bad deal for him. He was still paid by the company to take me home! Anyhow, I need to rest and hope tommorrow will be a better day.

Seriously, like all here, I hope you get to the root of this and are 100% soon. Anything that can cause you to pass out has to be taken seriously.
