You have to be odd, to be number one.

bnwBlockedOh no.
The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

ZooeyParticipantRumor is seizures.
Remember he had a brain tumor.

InvaderRamModeratorit was 2 seizures. his brother had posted about it on facebook apparently. fisher says it’s highly unlikely it’s connected to the tumor.
i have a hard time believing that.

sanbaggerParticipantYikes
In my mind the most important thing is to determine if the hits he’s taking from football is aggravating the existing condition.
I would want medical advice before he’s allowed to continue with his career.

PA RamParticipantI wish him the best. I would expect they will want to do a lot of tests before he’s cleared to do anything. When my son was around 12 years old he had a seizure. Scariest thing I ever saw. He only had that one. But, you want to talk about panic? I didn’t know anything about seizures, got on the phone with 911 and tried to breathe and calm myself until the ambulance got there. I know now about putting things in their mouths but at the time I didn’t. I put my finger in his mouth and he almost bit it off. They decided it was a type of childhood seizure problem that would probably go away. It seems that’s what happened.
But it was terrifying.
I hope Robert Quinn is okay. No football game is more important than his life.

In my business I do a lot of travelling and one of the guys I worked with suffered from seizures….had one on the plane once and had to make an emergency landing…anyway, he was grounded and not allowed to travel.
Then he made some behind the scenes arrangements and worked out a trip to Hawaii, had a seizure in his Hotel room while nobody was around, and passed away.
This is serious business and I really hope the guy gets any and all tests to ensure the constant head knocking is not causing him to have them.

THOUSAND OAKS – Rams defensive end Robert Quinn was back at practice Tuesday afternoon and is “doing well” just a day after he was hospitalized for a non-football illness.
Quinn was not dressed, but was in good spirits on the sideline Tuesday, jogging around and chatting with teammates. Rams coach Jeff Fisher said test results were good and that Quinn’s status is day to day. He has not been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins.
“He was all smiles,” nose tackle Michael Brockers said. “He was really up to speed, for a guy that was just hospitalized.”
The team offered no details about the nature of Quinn’s hospitalization, but in a 911 call obtained by TMZ Sports on Tuesday evening, a woman who identified herself as Quinn’s mother-in-law told the operator that Quinn was having a seizure. Quinn, according to the woman, was still seizing when the call was made. At one point during the call, she told the 911 operator that the 26-year-old defensive end was standing on his own.
When Quinn was in high school, a small, benign brain tumor was discovered at the top of his spinal cavity. He has received biannual checkups to monitor the tumor, and Fisher said Tuesday it was “highly unlikely” that the tumor was related to his condition. But upon hearing of his hospitalization, concerned teammates who hadn’t seen any symptoms feared that may be the cause.
“I know Rob’s history,” Brockers said. “I know about the tumor and stuff, so I was really scared about if something came back. I wanted to pray for him. At the same time, I just didn’t know enough to understand about the situation. It was good to just see him this morning and talk to him and ask him if everything was good. He told us everything was OK and that he felt fine.”
Quinn has already sat out two games this season because of a shoulder injury. If he’s unable to play, the Rams may again be without two main contributors on the defensive line, as defensive end Eugene Sims remains in the concussion protocol.
The team will release an official injury report after Wednesday’s practice.
November 18, 2016 at 11:29 pm #58960znModeratorRobert Quinn attributes hospitalization to dehydration
By Jack Wang, Los Angeles Daily News
THOUSAND OAKS >> Four days removed from a brief stay in the hospital, Rams defensive end Robert Quinn said he received simple instructions from his doctors: Drink more water.
“That’s what I took from the whole thing,” he said Friday. “Drink more water — and often, at that.” Those words offer a somewhat reassuring end to a scary experience, one that saw Quinn hospitalized early Monday morning with what the team would only call a non-football-related illness. TMZ later published audio of a 911 call in which a woman identifying herself as Quinn’s mother-in-law described him going through what appeared to be a seizure. Asked about what happened, Quinn would only attribute the episode to dehydration.
“It kind of just overwhelmed me,” he said. “It really just surprised me. Happened so fast. Didn’t really have a lot of time to think about it. Just dealt with it when I realized what was going on. Kept on moving forward.”
The incident had seemed worrisome given Quinn’s health history. The 26-year-old was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor during his senior year of high school, a condition for which he still gets biannual check-ups. Both Quinn and Rams coach Jeff Fisher said that his illness was not related to the tumor.
After sitting out Wednesday’s practice, Quinn returned to the field on Friday and participated in full. He is officially listed as questionable to play against the Dolphins on Sunday (1 p.m., FOX) at the Coliseum.
“I don’t know how exactly it’s going to play out,” Quinn said. “I was able to get out there today. It’s going to come down to the doctors, Fisher, and ultimately how I feel. Hopefully, I can get out there on Sunday and be somewhat productive. If not, well, the guys have got to rally up, keep it going.”
The two-time Pro Bowler is a devastating pass rusher when fully healthy, but the Rams (4-5) at least have experience behind him on the depth chart. Seventh-year veteran Eugene Sims, who also returned to practice Friday after suffering a concussion last Sunday, has started 12 games since the start of last season.
“We haven’t really noticed his absence,” Rams defensive tackle Michael Brockers said of Quinn. “You notice he isn’t on the field because 94 isn’t out there, but to say we’re missing his production — I wouldn’t want to say that because Eugene Sims has been playing really good.”

The only time I had a problem with being dehydrated was while I was taking chemo. Even though I was drinking plenty of water, it wasn’t enough to prevent me from being dehydrated. In my case, chemo was the culprit. I had to go to the cancer center several times to get fluids via an IV.
Since Quinn is a professional athlete, he knows the importance of proper hydration. It strikes me as a bit odd that an episode of dehydration could possibly keep Quinn from playing 5 days after it happened. I’m sure he got fluids in the hospital when he was admitted and I would think that 5 days would be enough to re-hydrate and re-balance. I wonder if something else is going on.
