I didn't want to drive to the hospital because I didn't want to bloody up my car. I planned to go if it slowed down. It didn't, I got woozy and called 911 because if I passed out I might bleed out. Similar happened to Brock Lesner while training, except his was more severe. He nearly died and they had to resect a part of his intestine. I was much more fortunate, a colonoscopy showed the diverticulitis, not cancer or anything else.
It just stopped while I was in the waiting room. I pooped blood once while waiting and that was it. Still had to spend 3 days in the hospital until all my stuff was showing normal. What an idiot, I never figured a minor eating change like that was so dangerous.

Yeah, first time I saw that it was freaky. I've seen swimming pools on elevated floors, but this is much bigger.

There's a whole miniature Venice up there. Except for the gondolas, they are full sized.
