[Hps] Fwd: advice

[Nelson, Timothy Knight]

Stepan,

I’m not sure what I should do or where I should go with this.  As you will read below, I had a very brief problem here in the control room and and not sure what to do.  I am going to call my doctor for his advice since it is not late there.

Tim

I’ve never had an event anything like that, but considering family history, it is without a doubt something I worry about.

Then for a moment I thought maybe I was having an allergic reaction.  I tried to say “I’m having a problem…” but my mouth was very mushy and it came out slurred.  Then, just as quickly, it passed and I felt fine, if a little dazed from anxiety and adrenaline.  The whole thing was maybe 10 seconds.
