You may or may not know, on May 17th I had a full on cardiac arrest. I died. I was without pulse or reparation for some time after this. Some may say it’s a miracle I am alive today, and I can agree to a point.
My heart was going to fail, that was a given after this event, just when. I am not a Cheetos eating loafing bum, but rather was just getting back from a run. Looked at my wife and hit the ground. A couple fortunate events happened; the EMT’s were not on call and were there in minutes. I didn’t collapse outside or in my room which I was headed to next.
Thanks to the EMT’s who spent 45 minutes putting every chemical they could to restart my ticker, they “paddled” me 7 times, and spent the rest of the time performing CPR. They got a pulse minutes before the hospital. Now they took over and did even more stuff that I am not aware of, other than a few days in ICU there, then was moved for surgery and was in and out of ICU there.
Either way, on Monday I walked out of the hospital on my own power! You may say I am a miracle; I would refine that and say I am a miracle of circumstances. If one event would have been out of order, I would no longer be on this earth. SIMPLE.
God touched my life, my families and I hope my friends, who came out of the woodwork to help. Now to find out what’s next!
