It was a typical Friday at work. We were working on a project with a nextdoor neighbor company on our new laser machine. We were trying to figure out how to etch an image onto a circular silicone pad with some indentations on it.
At about 2:15, I sitting in front of the computer when a dizzy spell overcame me. Now we've all had spells of dizziness and I have had my share of them. Usually they pass quickly and it's no big deal.
This spell hung on for a while. I balanced my forehead on my hands and tried to work through the dizziness. I was coming out of it and raising my head when
BAM!
My defibrillator went off. It's the first time it has happened and it was an experience. I got a sudden electric shock in my chest. I've been told it will feel like getting hit in the chest with a board. That's a pretty good description except it wasn't as intense as I had imagined.
Nonetheless, when it went off, my arms splayed out and I knocked the flat screen computer monitor off the table and pretty much screwed it up.
I called my Cardiologist to report what happened and they wanted me to go home and download my defib info on the heart monitor I have next to the bed.
Unfortunately, my heart monitor didn't work properly so I have an appointment on Monday to find out what happened.
The aftermath of the whole ordeal is that I felt fine before it happened, I felt fine after it happened and haven't had any repercussions since.
I think it was an anomaly but I'll find out on Monday.
