Weird and Funny

When I was 19 I had a seizure. It was summer and I was hanging out with some friends. I was at my friend's house but I'm not too sure how I got there or what we were doing there. Anyway, I headed outside for a smoke. As I walked out the door I felt weird and dizzy and slammed into the guard rail on my friend's porch.

My friends laughed, thinking it was funny that I almost broke off the rail. I then went blind but I could still hear people talking.
I was told that I stared at nothing but my eyes were wide open.
I then remember hearing one of my friends saying to get up off the floor. Apparently I fell backwards like a domino, turned pale blue, and my hands was shaking, (from what i was told).

I heard people around me screaming omg he's having a seizure.
I was so confused that I didn't know who they were talking about or what was going on. They were discussing about what they should do and then someone mentioned we should call 911. At that moment I used all my will power and broke myself out of of the seizure and said in a voice like I was barely clinging to life "don't call 911, I don't have insurance~"

I climbed back up on my feet and walked back into the house only to collapse on the floor. I then crawled to the couch and sat down as I shivering and sweating horribly. I felt as if I was hot and cold.
At some point my friends suggested that I should go outside where it was cold. I took their advice and they helped me to the steps so I could sit down. I put my head down between my legs & closed my eyes as I sat there trying to fully regain myself. Twenty five minutes passes & then I felt good enough to walk again. That's all I can remember.

My memory about that day and a few of the surrounding days are kind of fuzzy. The irony is that when I told my dad what happened he told me that it would have been free to treat me at a hospital and they could have figured out why I had the seizure.

Advice: CALL 911 IF YOU HAVE A SEIZURE!
