Then suddenly my chest cramped up and the lights went out.
I awoke to find myself in an ambulance with the lights and sirens blaring, yes it had been a really bad heart attack and they had to perform CPR and use the defib to get me started again.
Had it not been for the rapid response paramedic and the paramedic crew I wouldn't be here typing now.
After a few days in hospital and a lecture about not waiting so long next time I am back home again, rather weak but all the better for being at home again. Phew that was a close call...
