I am not really dead but suffered a grand
mall seizure (please correct me but I don't know the correct spelling of medical terms). I black line on the EKG but would a get single spike every few seconds so they could not kill the life sustain machines on me.
I saw too much to list,but my wife and Son were told when I flatlined I would be actually dead, and the cora......would pronounce me as dead. They both thought I was dead and were in the hall balling and trying to console each other.
all of a sudden I woke up and sat up and saw all of the colors I remembered. I felt great again and told
the old doctor beside me "See, I told you I was fine. When can I go home? He just stuttered "Sir you will have to talk to your wife. I had only seen my Son and wife for a few brief moments and we were in a 3 way hug (we call it).
There is a lot more but I will compile it and do a post to an outside link with a password (that I will post on the forum.
Ray Defoe: I hope you read this and know I am still interested. I will be back when I rest (it is 5;00 in the morning hear, and I am start to shw shymptoms fro the big guy that happen when I need rest.
in conclusion: this story is 100% true and factual. But some may dought it. please compile a list of doubters (including Christi soory, I have to sleep more.
born again Richard born or BA Lefty good night.

I think it takes a good deal of courage to post something that might be treated with doubt, of which I have none.
That was quite an event. Gran mal is how they spell it, meaning big bad. Glad you made it through and lived to tell it.

Glad you are OK Lefty, see a good Neurologist, my wife has Petite Mal and has medication that controls it very well. She has had it for around 35 years.

Wow, Richard! What an experience you all must have had!
Really glad that you and your wife and son got to have another 3-way hug! I'll bet it was the BEST HUG EVER! Take care, and hopefully we'll see you in September!

HI Lefty

What an experience to go through. You need to take care of yourself and get back on your feet. I personally know all too well about having health issues.

I had not heard back from you so I posted a reply that the split was still for sale.

If it sells, I still have you covered as I can let another identical one go as well.

I will send you my cell number in a PM so you can call me directly when you are up to it.

Get well.
Ray
