Friday night, three days before Christmas, Melissa and I were watching Love Actually. I was sprawled across the sofa, and Melissa was in the recliner. It was about ten o’clock when I noticed my right arm fell asleep. I shook it, but it didn’t help. I stopped the movie and sat up to shake my arm.

Melissa asked me, “What’s up?”

“Oh, my arm fell asleep. Must’ve been lying on it funny.”

I was letting my arm hang, shaking it to get the blood flowing.

Melissa responded, “I’ve had that. It’ll come back.”

As I massaged my right arm with my left hand, I noticed my right leg was now also asleep. I stood up.

“Wow, my leg fell asleep, too.”

“Huh, I’ve never had both at the same time,” she added.

I began walking on the numb leg to get the blood flowing, and the right side of my face lost all feeling.

“Crap, now it’s in my face.”

We both knew what it meant.

Melissa picked up her phone. “Should I call 911?”

I told her, “I guess so,” but it was hard to get the words out. I sounded like I was drunk, yet I hadn’t consumed any alcohol.
