I lived and I appreciate all the loves and the mugs that I am getting now since I openly posted my name. Haha.

You all ate great. (Wel. . . . Except you. You know who you are.)

Lots of pain but doing well. VERY tired

More pics to come in FB Torn.

Fantastic to hear. As Odin pointed out earlier, we seem to have too many of these posts go the other way.

My nephew went through a few of these, and even though they were somewhat routine, every one is still absolutely scary.

Hopefully you'll have a speedy recovery

Hello all.

I lived. Was officially on by-pass (dead) for over 2 hours. NO visions of the afterlife and I am VERY disappointed about that

Overall, I would say the experience was a 8/10 would do again.

I was "lucky" to have one of the few surgeries where, if they stick a tube down your throat to help you breath (incubation), I got to be woken up as they had to remove it. (My lungs were both collapsed).

THAT was a 1-star. 1/10 do again. I HIGHLY recommend to NEVER do that little nighmare!

HERE is a link to view my chest cut open and my heart beating after the surgery. CAUTION - EXTREMEMLY GRAPHIC!

*************************

I want to personally thank every one of you that stood by my side during this adventure. I have no problem dying. My mom and bride would have none of THAT.

You have all (mostly) protected me and taken care of me while I was down. I will forever be grateful. And those that followed on FB close enough, I think you know I'm a half-way decent guy (that likes to mug a lot). But, I will be here for anyone that asks. This game brings us together. I'm glad my "opening" brought us together even more.

Stay safe!

Keep on keeping on man. Hell of a thing to now have kind of behind you. Hopefully the full recovery doesn't take too long.

Glad to see you back! Hell of a ride to go on, and it was really nice to see people coming together to wish you well with the surgery/recovery.

We haven't interacted before but we're all similar flavours of crazy on here - would have sucked to lose a member of the most dysfunctional country on Earth (Torn).

Here's to a full and speedy recovery mate - after all that you deserve it!

Yeah, don't be stupid and post your name. This group is a BIT more civilized than Global. .. ... but, barely.

I posted my name understanding the risks involved.

And in truth, am extremely happy at seeing the results of decent people standing up for the little man. Amazing and it restores my faith in humanity. People are good.
