My son absolutely blew my mind…

He turned 13 this year and said something that I just can’t shake.



“Technically, we’re all about 4 minutes from death. The timer just resets every time you take a breath.”

I read today about how a classmate's husband barrel rolled his tractor into their pond and as he was pinned under the machine, his struggle to get his head above water to take a breath and yell out his wife's name. About 2 minutes by her account. By the grace of God she heard him and was able to get him out of the water. Also by the grace of God he was not severely injured. He is a capable and experienced man with many hours on the tractor. But only God determines your time on this earth.

Not real sure how I’m supposed to move on after hearing that

Take the next breath for starters.

 

[Nugget]

So far, so good.

Four minutes at a time.

Holy s***.

irreversible anoxic brain injury sets in at about 12 minutes without breathing, so you can skip a few breaths before it gets serious....if that makes you feel better.

Reminds me, I keep forgetting to talk to the doctor about what I suspect to be occasional acid reflux. Sit straight up out of bed after kicking up some stomach acid into your windpipe, and #### gets real, real quick. Literally struggling to just gasp enough to get some air down the windpipe. It's scary.

Could also be a hiatal hernia. I get this often and had no idea I had this condition until it showed up on a cardiac scan.

Not a terrible way to move through life honestly.

I'll get that checked. Was that heart scan, a cat scan or something else?

I assume had to be surgically fixed?

A lot of people have them and I haven't had any treatment other than antacids. The doctor suggested a cardiac scan that checks for calcium deposits, which can indicate higher risk for plaque. It was quick and not at all invasive. I think the hospital in Michigan City where he sent me charged $49. It was in the Franciscan network.

if that makes you feel better.

It doesn't.

 

[Doug]

Just tell him you feel more like you do now than you did before.
