Thank you Keith for posting this, and for everyone's kind words. I appreciate every single one of them
I know there are people allot worse off than me, I am just lucky to be alive! For seven days in the hospital I was afraid to go to sleep, not knowing if I would wake up again. I know that sounds silly. But I owe my life to the paramedics, doctors, nurses, and other staff that made sure I stayed alive.
Whatever caused this event (pretty much what is defined as a "full arrest") in medical jargon could happen again. And that scares me for my family and you, my extended family. And I'm going to do everything in my power to prevent it.
I know I'm not traditionally "active" on the forums as I should be, but I am constantly behind the scenes making sure the forums and sites are running in tip top shape. And the good news is the plan in place for the servers if they did not get any recognized input from me after a period of time, they went into sort of a fail safe mode. And that worked perfectly.
I have a long road ahead of me, with another long hospitalization already scheduled for the near future (hello burglars! Just joking! I hope!).
I never thought I'd be on "this end of the bed". I'm used to taking care of patients. Not being one.
More than 3 years ago I first started my journey on "this end of the bed" I never thought it would lead here.
And I am kindly asking if you cannot directly contribute to my GoFundMe
https://gofund.me/d9eae178 that you spread the word. It will make all the difference in the world. And I really mean that. The Elvis World is the best place to be!
Sincerely,
