Waking up from being under general anesthesia and not being able to speak or move changes one’s perspective on everything.
If you knew what you were about to say was the last thing you were ever going to be able to say, would you?
Because I have always known that there is the risk of dying with any surgery where a general anesthesia is used, I am not surprised that my mind is thinking about last moments.
Not a single one of the thoughts that has come to mind has had to do with anything other than the wonderful people I have the privilege to know and love.
Every single time I focus on my breath moving comfortably in and out of my lungs, I am aware, newly, of the miracle of being alive in this moment.
Isn’t it interesting that it takes many of us so long to see and experience the miracle?
