Today is the 7th anniversary of my death and rebirth.... For those of you who don't know, I had a Cardiac Arrest on Dec. 30, 2011 and was dead for 10 minutes.... My wife Diane, our neighbours, and the AED she had purchased for the Motel when we opened it in 2008 brought me back....
I guess it really isn't a $1500 shelf ornament, huh ?!?!?
Bob, Ver. 2.7

Happy B day Bob.
Believe it or not, I had a doing in designing and manufacturing the wire that goes into the coils for those defibrillators.
Boy, I bet that puts you mind at rest....
Here's another piece of awesome work on an implantable one. I actually visited this company in Germany while designing an MP35n 4 wire pacing lead a bunch years back.
Every time I hear success stories, it typically brings tears to my eyes.
Congrats and keep going sir.

My wife and I went down to Bellevue WA to give a talk to the staff at Phillips, who made ours.... I guess they like to see such success stories too.... I have an ICD/pacemaker now, have had since that happened.... and all it has ever done is monitor me.... no pacing and no shocks required.... The Drs. still don't know exactly what happened.... It wasn't a heart attack, no damage, no blockages.... just a complete electrical failure, like somebody turned off a switch....
Now that I have my own built in jumper cables.... hopefully I'm good to go if it ever happens again.... *LOL*….

When you wake up in the morning after fifty fifty odds making it through the night, it gets you thinking if you are truly happy with your life.
Changed a lot in short order to find that happiness.
Every morning is a fresh start, to see the world in a grain of sand.
Happy second life Bob!

Bob-, Sir,.,., Every body is helped by you
I am so glad you're still with us and contributing to the entire airgun community!!
The patience and effort you take/make is an inspiration that
ALL should see and try to understand.
We do love you, I hope it shows, some days at least!!!!
Yes finding yourself out of control of your life can be, lets just say
More than an eye opener.
The best part is getting to open them
every day !
I'm past 34 years since,
"if he lives,he will be in a vegetable state"
That is all I remember from the first couple weeks of being
what felt like "trapped" in the hospital
Totally NOT understanding
How bad of shape I was/had been in but,
some how lived thru.
But things happen I guess.
Again I THANK YOU for being the best of us, please
Continue to lead the way.
