“So I got up and I walked over to a post and leaned up against it with my head down. I don’t know how long I was there, but I felt awful. And my coworker Dalton comes over to me and asks me if I’m all right. And I looked up at him and said, no. And that’s when I noticed everything was blue. And he said, you’re blue. He goes, dude, you look awful. And I said, I need to sit down. ” He said, do you want me to take you to the hospital?”
