Call 911

I had my Cataract Surgery. This is when the cloudy lens of your eye is removed and a new Tri Focal Lens is replaced into your eye by hooks. When I get both cataracts removed I won't have to wear glasses anymore. Yeah!! But I will have the vision of a 10 year old child. I was a bit apprehensive about the Surgery. All went well. Post Op. check up the Technician dilated my eyes and left the office. While waiting for the Eye Doctor to appear, I suddenly felt very hot, sweaty, nauseous and faint all at the same time.
I told my Husband, who was waiting with me, I was going to faint. I couldn't put my head down between my knees, because it would ruin the Eye Surgery. I was sitting up in the office chair, ready to be examined. So I laid my head back in the chair and passed out. My husband came over and held my head so I wouldn't fall out of the chair.
He said " My eyes were wide open and dilated and I was out cold. I had very shallow breathing and he thought he would have to give me mouth to mouth very soon. He was very scared I was going to die right there, in the chair." He called for a Nurse, a Technician came in and saw me and exclaimed "Oh, My God.!" and ran out and had someone call 911. I was passed out for about a minute or more" he said.

When I came back to life there were four Fireman Paramedics were there, two Ambulance girls. They checked my Blood Pressure and it was 88/56 and my Pulse was Bradycardia at 55. An I.V. was started and a bolus of fluid was given to raise my Blood Pressure fast.
I was then rushed by Ambulance to the Emergency Dept at the Local Hospital. Where I spent the next 2 hours undergoing ECG and blood work. Finally the Doctor came in and told me I was the healthiest person He had seen that day. I Blood Pressure and Pulse had returned to Normal. The Doctor said it was a Vagal Reaction. Like a fight or flight reaction. I don't know why I wasn't scared of anything. All is well now I can see much better now. The world is so much brighter and rosier. In a few more weeks, I will get the other eye done too.
