@masek Thanks. Being in the right place at the right time was a miracle of situational alignment in itself.
Had any one thing not happened exactly when it did, it would have been game over.@dabertime A close friend had a heart attack a year ago.
He had to be revived twice.
Same as you: had he been at a different location (e.g. in a car) or some others not there, the outcome would have been tragically different.

Today, it is exactly four weeks since I died.
Okay, maybe I didn't technically die, or maybe I did, I don't really know..
I do know that I did have a cardiac arrest and got CPR for three minutes before getting the defibrillator paddles twice and reawakening to a familiar, but somehow altered reality.Waking up each day hits different now.
Good morning.
@dabertime thanks for this message and its wisdom, and good morning(s) to you too, many many many of them!

@dabertime I'm so glad you are still here. I'm also delighted that the reboot came with less pain.
Good morning to you! -

@dabertime so lucky. Unconsciousness is strange.

@dabertime I had wondered why we hadn't seen you in our feeds in a while. I had assumed that you'd been busy with work or a project. And I guess you have ... recovering. Glad to see you back. (Internet hug)

@dabertime Been almost 2 years for me. Not cardiac, but septic shock. BP 70/0, systems shutting down. My wife was emailing friends and family that I was about to die. Obviously, I was unaware, as I was intubated and on a respirator and in a coma. But then I came back, but with some residuals. But I'm still on this side of the grass!

@DrBones I'm discovering many near death survivors. Enjoy the grass.

Thanks for the comeback! -
@dabertime
Thanks for the comeback!@EllenInEdmonton still a work in progress.

@lifewithtrees My life now feels more fragile, precious, simpler yet grander.
What I can do and how forever changed, heighten sensitivity, awareness.
Priorities, relationships, gratitude,...@dabertime thank you for sharing that

@dabertime Amazing. Kind of uber-example of adversity teaching us. Sad that most of us need a wake up call to really start to appreciate just being alive!

@dabertime Good morning and glad things worked out! As someone who did volunteer first response for a couple decades I like to hear when everything works.
And now be that guy
My understanding is that if the paddles worked then it wasn’t cardiac arrest (no heart beat). Defibrillator’s only work when the heart is fibrillating.
