When I came out of my stroke w/ my mind intact.

When I came out of my stroke w/ my mind intact 7+ years ago.

WHEN I SURVIVED OPEN HEART SURGERY AFTER 4 HEART ATTACKS IN ONE MONTH. MY ODDS WERE 1 IN 1,000. I WAS TOLD TO PUT MY AFFAIRS IN ORDER AND TO DO IT QUICKLY. HA! FOOLED THEM!

Three years ago I had to have another emergency major surgery. I had no choice. It was either have this operation or die. The surgeon said that the only way for me to survive would be my attitude. I knew I had to live. I just was not ready to die. So the event happened. While I was having the operation slowly my family was arriving to give love and support. After several hours the operation was done. Then I was taken to ICU. When I was slowly coming awake, I was in such pain. I remember my surgeon being there and talking to me. I do not remember his words. But much later I was totally waking up. My dear surgeon was at my side. Also, all my family was coming into my view. I later on could think. My thoughts were full of the fact that I was alive. My dear surgeon had even prayed with my family. He told my family that I had survived the operation, He then told them that from that moment on I was in God's Hands. He was just so afraid that I would not survive. So he arranged for me to be taken from ICU to my private room. He felt that the love and support from my family was what I needed . Obviously, I survived.
