There's not much really to do in a hospital, but I worked a little bit, thought a lot about life and what priorities are truly important, spent quality time with Heather and Joshua, and, yes, taught him to play street hockey.

I was bleeding profusely because my coronary artery was literally coming apart and the right side of my heart wasn't functioning. They told me they gave me 13 gallons of blood, which is such a massive quantity, and they said that's more blood than they had ever seen anyone receive before who lived to tell about it.
