I'm a Pirate!! Eye Update

Well, I look like a pirate.   To say this appt was rough is a bit too mild.   Sorry if I'm not spelling correctly or typing well I'm doing it with one eye.   My appt was at noon.   I was not totally prepared for what they were really going to do.   First they gave me two shots of numbing med right into my eyeball OUCH!!!!!!    I was not happy.   Everything went numb on that side of my face even my teeth felt funny .    I went infor the laser and it actually hurt....I could feel it burning my eyeball.   I keept taking deep breaths and made it through.   It took a whoe 5 mins probably but felt like 5 hours.  After the laser they patched my eye and sent me to the reception desk to make an appt.   I'm standing there telling the guy to just make the appt for whenever he has an opening and I start to feel like I'm passing out.   The echoing, sweaty, etc...   I start heading to the chair...the nurse runs after me...grabs a chair for me to sit put my feet up on another chair.   Thankfully the Dr was right there as well and came right away.   If I could've seen I might know how many nurses etc... were there LOL.   I now there were at least 3 plus the Dr.   My blood sugar bottomed out big time.   The Dr ran and got me some orange juice.   It brought it up long enough for my MIL to come get me and bring me home.   By the time I got home it was dropping again.  I have now eaten lunch and my sugars are back up.   I just feel yucky though.   I have to keep my eye patched for 6 hrs and use predisone drops 4 x per day for a week then 2x per day for the next week.   I go back Oct 20th for the other eye.   Ohhh I can hardly wait.   So for now I look like a pirate.   I'm heading in to lie down to try to sleep for a bit.   I have  a headache big time.    I just wanted to update and thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and good luck posts.  

Hope you feel better soon.  Perhaps a snack for the 2nd appointment so your sugar doesn't bottom out again.

I was all prepared with a snack in my purse this time as well but it came on so quickly that I couldn't get to it.   At least I was in the right place...among Drs and nurses LOL.

Well, it is almost 24 hours later, I am hoping that this reply finds you doing MUCH better!!!!  And tomorrow, I hope you are even better!!!!!
