When you go blind.....

It was sep 18 th evening. My hubby had a proj delivery. So he asked me to take the car and go home . I was really pissed off at him cos, I had waited for more than 2 hrs for him. If I wanted to drive alone, I would have done that 2 hrs earlier. For some reason I didn’t want to drive alone. Temperature was as usual 12 deg Celsius.

I wanted to go to gym cos last week I couldn’t go there. I went home, changed to sweatpants and drove to gym. Cycled for some 5 mts. (my regular time is 15 mts). But today I wanted to finish it as soon as possible. Started my first round with the machines. After one round, I was really tired. But I scolded myself for being so lazy. I didn’t visit gym last week at all. I had even missed one assessment session. And I almost reached the end of second round. Now only 4 more machines to go. Ok. I reached this hydraulic rowing machine and lifted it…

Suddenly I started sweating profusely. I was drinking water to prevent dehydration. I didn’t care that much. Started lifting it a second time. No.. I cant.. I think I cant lift… I decided to stop. Started going towards the window. On the midway, I saw suddenly it was getting dark. I couldn’t hear anything….and something started burning inside me…now it wasn’t getting dark. I cant see anything. And cant hear also. I knew from earlier experience the symptoms of blackout[I am almost a pro in having blackouts..LOL]. I was looking for a safe place to sit. Or else I will fall down on some machine and get hurt. I tried to sit and prevented myself from going blank. No its not going… minutes passed… even after 5 minutes, I cant see or hear anything. Suddenly my stomach pained and I dragged myself to bathroom. I vomited all the water I drank. I sat on the floor. No I cant call anyone for help. I cant talk or even make a single sound. My vision was completely gone. I could only feel the wash basin. I sat there for some 20 mts. Nobody in the gym knew I was there. After 20 mts slowly I started seeing things around me. Got up and with shaking hands dialled my hubbys number. Couldn’t even talk to him properly. Somehow asked him to come to gym and that I cant drive or for that matter move from the bathroom.

Till my hubby came and found me in the bathroom, I sat there….

That’s what you get for punishing your body tooo much!
