Thank you so much for your support! I called my insurance to ask if they may cover the costs my call has caused, but they said they would only have paid if any damage was caused by negligence on my part, and that wasn't the case.

I really felt I had no other choice that night; I mean, I could never have gone to bed and do nothing. I'm glad my friend understands that, she said she would have done the same.

Richard; yes, hope you're right and we'll be laughing about it in a few years.

Carole, she's a nurse and I'm sure she considered that option after her TIA in 2009. But these days, she doesn't seem to be too worried about the fact that she fell asleep; she said she was just tired. Personally, I'm not so sure about that, at least I know it could never happen to me, unless something's wrong, healthwise...
