I understand this 100% When I had my first heart attack, I went out. I was in the ER and in distress. I started getting tunnel vision and it was an "Oh Shit" moment is all. I was thinking "Oh shit... this isn't good". Next thing I remember was waking up with an oxygen mask on and tubes everywhere. Apparently I went into AFIB and they hit me with the paddles to stabilize me.

Your adventure reminds me of that. There's no life flashing before your eyes or drifting off peacefully or seeing yourself from above... it's an "Oh Shit" moment.

So yes... tell your loved ones you love them and appreciate every day as a gift. Remember "Eat. Drink. Enjoy the work you do. Be thankful for the blessings God gives you in this life Live. Love and seek out the things that bring your heart joy. The rest doesn't matter. It's like chasing the wind" King Solomon.

Glad you're doing Ok Tom... Merry Christmas and a healthy, Happy New Year!
