Twenty-eight days.
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 All the best in your second life.
And I am glad that you had people around you that knew how to handle such a situation.

@dabertime Good morning! And glad you are still here with us!

@dabertime may I ask: in what ways does this new reality feel different for you?
@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,... -

Good morning survivor. -
@dabertime
Good morning
. I'm very glad you're still here.
I understand how you feel. May you have more mornings to reflect & enjoy life.
My flatlining experiences were in childhood on surgery tables. When you've met death more than once & death isn't ready to accept you - every morning you awaken feels like a blessing
@PhoenixSerenity yep. I had a prior defibrillator experience, but I had not flat-lined in that instance, Just a rhythm reset, likely moments before a major cardiac event. The total system reboot is next level for sure. I'm glad you're here too.

Count me as another person who is so glad you are here. I wish you a good life ahead.

@dabertime @WTL That makes you a cat - you have more than one life.
Eight more to go. Enjoy them!

@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. -

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.

@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!
