My Meniere's and the plate-glass window

Has anyone ever had an attack that caused other life-threatening problems? I live in Denver and I recently went up in the Rockies to the Grand Lake area for a retreat. For the first couple of days I had trouble with the altitude, but this seemed to resolve around the 3rd day. But later in that day, I was standing in my room next to an old single-pane picture window when I began to have vicious vertigo. I literally couldn't determine which way was up. On my way down to the floor, I crashed into the window. I received quite a few lacerations, one of which severed an artery in my knee, another severed two tendons in my hand. I was only alone on the floor for a couple of minutes, but during that time I was wedged between the bed and the window, positioned directly underneath the broken window. The jagged glass still in the window and looming above me reminded me of a bad horror movie. But I was very fortunate to be in an environment surrounded by caring, concerned people. In just a couple of minutes, there were over 20 people in my room wanting to help. I was taken to the ER and received excellent care there. But for one or two variables, this could have been much more serious. I guess I'm just venting. Thanks for reading this far!
