My Dad's own words...
On his own blog, my Dad reflected yesterday on the week gone by:
The life cycle
of something is the series of developments that take place in it from
its beginning until the end of its usefulness or its death.
This past week I seemingly experienced the completion of my life
cycle and then was given a chance to start a new one. I don”t know why.
I was scheduled to have hip replacement surgery this past
Wednesday. Unfortunately I went into anaphylactic shock and my body shut
down completely. I was aware that life was passing out of me. Through a
ton of good luck and good emergency medical help my heart and lungs
were revived after five minutes, and I miraculously survived. Except for
the pain from the pounding that I took during CPR, there will be no
lasting damage.
It will take me a while to get a handle on what I am supposed to do
with my life now. I will be slowing down a bit while I try to process
what happened to me this week.
You can-- and you should!-- read the whole thing here.
