Hi Pat,
I almost drowned the first time I had a seizure. The shower was gushing and I dropped to the shower floor and I thought I was going to drown. Happily, I shoved myself against the door, before I passed out and came to with my head on the floor and my body slug over the transom. Scary stuff. Phylis Feiner Johnson www.epilepsytalk.com

yes, my daughter(24) falls straight back. And yes, it makes your heart stop to see it (or hear it).
