Congratulations on surviving your ordeal. It’s probably a good thing you don’t recall anything that happened to you. As a retired nurse the insult to the body we perform to keep you alive is not pretty. Now you just have to make sure you don’t repeat the episode again. Did you have any near death experience?

My second sudden cardiac arrest was more traumatic because I was alone. I have no reason why I woke up. I also do not know how long I was down. I did feel myself going down but I passed out before I hit the ground. My first episode I just dropped to the floor but had no warning. Both times when I came to it took a while to get my composure. Both incidents it took a while to think back on what just happened. No doubt there is a God! I'm blessed!
Now I have cardiac amyloidosis and I'm experiencing numerous ischemic strokes. Now I realize that there is no crystal ball and nobody knows for sure how long we have. Yes, get the best care that you can, but in the end it's out of our hands.
