A year ago today was nearly my last day. Since then, as healing changed me for good, during that time, and throughout the year, I decided to make this a day that I focus on sharing gratefulness. Let's start here: I'm grateful for web3, the friends, creative platform and community. A place where, when I could do nothing else but heal, I could still feel like "myself." So thank you friends in the @trippies @Rough_Ryders @BullsOnTheBlock @apecoin communities. My girls(wife and daughter) who were strong through everything. Grateful to my best friend who happened to be a Family Medicine Doc, Who knew I needed more than the prescribed meds, got me to the ER in and ice storm that shut the city down. And, was with me every step that day. Grateful to the ER Physician, who quickly saw the indicator that something more than pneumonia was going on and once I got that sweet sweet oxygen, he and his nurse confidently diagnosed and got me stabilized, tests done, and sent me quickly to the Main Hospital ICU via ambulance. Grateful for the medic team, driving through the ice storm, getting me there, giving me a prayer while we waited in line to get in. Grateful to the ICU Surgeon/Director who ran an amazing team. Got me in and on the path back like an F1 pit crew. Blown away by the care and skill he and his nurses and staff gave. I was diagnosed and had a recovery plan in action quickly. And was able to move to Internal med wing for recovery the next day. While there in the ICU, I saw that team save a patients life when they crashed, and if I could have stood up to clap and cheer them I would have. MVP's. I spent the next six days watching the ice storm, recovering and getting awesome care from several nurses. They worked with me to get recovered enough to finally go home. I had to pass certain breathing tests under pressure and the head nurse was determined I could do it so she and I were speed walking up and down the hall to see if I could handle it without oxygen needed. We were both winded by the end of it. Dedication. I made it home. I rehabbed with a variety of specialists and my Primary doc over this last year. Healthier than I have been in years and my lungs are fully recovered. So I am grateful. For family, friends and those called to heal and care for their fellow humans. And for more time on the clock 😂 Bullish for 2025!
