JG’s Quintuple Bypass Insanity

Originally published December 20, 2012, days after my life changed forever.

This story begins with me holding a grown-up’s hand.

I keep picturing Kindergarten Cop only Arnold is screaming, “It’s not the virus!”

It was as if everything we have ever loved, hated, or known was taken away.

There was no way I was having a heart attack. Right? I didn’t have heart attacks. Other people did.

It’s not the same. It isn’t real.

I don’t let them turn me into the same people who hurt me. I never will.

People like that love company.

Sometimes my posts betray me. I snitch on myself, as the kids say.

I can’t just lay in bed all day. I have kids and responsibilities. Even if I didn’t, I still can’t stay in bed all day.
