So this past thursday i was at worh, doing my thing. I help build very large equipment at Fisher Ind. Aroung 9 am i didnt feel quite right. By 11 am i was in the break room, checking my blood sugar and i ate a banana. I have type 2 diabetes. Found out 2 years ago about. SO i am still learening it. My blood was a bit low, for me. But majorly bad. But still i felt worse and worse.
Went to tell my foreman and he acted like i was bothering, and quite rudely told "Go lean over there." As he pointed with his chin to my work area. Well minutes later a guy in the next bay over, who is also diabetic came bu and saw me. He gave me a glucose tabs, which i ate 3 of. Noon came, time for lunch. I didnt feel like eating, which is VERY unusual for me. I just sat in my seat the whole lunch time and closed my eyes. It got worse. I got up dizzy and blurred vision. Made it back to my work area..collapsed. Guy in the next bay who was diabetic saw me and immediately acted. Called 911, kept me talking...sort of. I was groggy, delirious and not 100% there. They gave me oxygen on the ambulance which helped.. A LOT!. i got to the hospital, doc said basicaly... My heart slowed down, blood pressure dropped and i wasnt getting enough oxygen to my brain for awhile there. I was released awhile later.
I still feel weird. Fingers on right hand are tingly numb, have been for a couple weeks now. Not sure whats up with me, but it dont seem right.
Gonna go in monday morning and tell my big boss i work REFUSE to work with my immediate foreman. His "I dont care" attitude could have been very bad for me there. I wont take any chances with him. Maybe get a lawyer involved if i have to.
