Before cataract surgery, I had warned the team about needing more pain meds, but they reassured me I'd be fine, dismissing my concerns.
During the procedure, I woke up to a startling scene, seeing bright red and experiencing a complete silence, which heightened my panic.
I managed to signal for help by shaking my hand, and they eventually acknowledged my distress by stating, 'We've got a mover,' and increased my medication.
Although everything turned out fine, I often panic at the thought of that experience, reliving the fear of being awake during surgery.
