Enlighten me which scene that is, I don't know it. But I love me some Monty python.

And yes I wasn't kidding or misusing words. Medically I was dead (and yes, was lucky and got better).

I have the medical documents for being resuscitated (defib 3rd try).

Anyhow the point being psychological stuff can take a heavy toll on your body. Accommodate your needs.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've never gone through anything quite that physically traumatic but, without disclosing my medical history to the internet, I've also taken injury from accommodating others so I get where you're coming from. Like oxygen masks on aeroplanes, we need to look after ourselves before we can look after others.

I hope you're doing better now!

It's okay, I didn't experience much of it or could remember (the injection you get let's you lose memory) but the drug induced experiences and everything are quite twilight zone style and never leave you. You're worse off than before but okay, the most aggravating thing is that you get told you should be thankful.
