I hit my head on a waterslide on the afternoon of Aug. 29 and went into the lake unconscious. I was found on the bottom some 8+ minutes after going down, was given mouth-to-mouth, and revived. My lungs were full of nasty lake water which contained three bad bacteria. Bad infections ensued which further threatened my life, with high fevers, for several days. I was on a ventilator for 12 days, then breathing tubes for about 5 more, rehab for 6 days, then home, after 28 days, to complete my recovery. Eight minutes without oxygen is about 4 1/2 more than my docs said was possible, and not have severe brain damage. Yet, at 69 years, I am 100% recovered with zero after effects. The guys picked the corn crop without me, but I helped pick the peanuts and cotton, as I strengthened.

There is a God in heaven and he is still in the miracle business!

You are, indeed(!), back. Life looks good doesn't it? Take care, and enjoy.
