Back in 1980...Yes I remember Dallas

Back in 1980, i remember a show called Dallas, I was addicted to it, every Friday night my family would gather around the tv and catch up on the business of the Ewings and the Barnes. This was way before the Sopranos. This was the Oil business. Texas, baby. And the man was J. R. Ewing. It was really entertaining.Let me go on with my story, The nation caught on with the drama of Dallas and it became the "it" show, and before too long everyone in the country was talking about it. It became the "watercooler" topic of the week. I was in I think 11th grade at the time, we had just moved back from Massachusetts, I know exactly where I was living I'm not going to put the address, because someone is pretending to be me, and I am protecting myself, with some of these little gems. Anyway, I got back to high school and naturally, I didn't fit in, I had known most of these people from jr. high, and elementary school, but I was having really serious headaches and just wanted to stay home from school. I went to the school nurse, who just like in the city I lived in in MA, told me about the Boy who cried Wolf. And I said send me home, or I'll leave anyway. I went to the doctor, he gave me a shot for the headache, by the time I got home I was throwing up and I was losing consciousness. I guess they took me back the doctor the next morning because I was screaming with the pain, my brother and sister thought I was faking to get out of school. Needless to say, I wasn't. I was rushed to the closest hospital, and they thought meningitis,   brain tumor, started CT scans, I was there, they ran tests, but this was a tiny hospital, and they were limited to what they could do. I was transfered to Scripps and that's when the real work up began. I had been out of it for almost 3 days. They put in temporary drain in my head, and I had surgery right in the ER. I regained consciousness, and the first thing I asked the nurse was, "Did I miss the show Dallas???"
