    I died 10 days ago.

    I died on Friday December 23, 2022, on my front driveway.
    Sharon My wife, heard from the living room a loud thud and commotion in front of the house.
    I had slipped on a patch of ice on the driveway and fell hard on my head enroute to the mailbox to retrieve our Friday mail.
    She ran out the door to find me unconscious lying of the concrete.
    She immediately checked my vital signs, heartbeat, and nasal breathing and none of those could be detected.
    Sharon called 911 from her cell phone next to her side and police, fire, and EMP medics arrived in under 4 minutes.
    They ran from the fire aid vans with a charged-up porta pack of electrified paddle pads.
    Emp cut off my shirt, pants, and underwear and quickly applied the paddle pads to my chest and hit the activation button several times.
    The electric current that went through my chest cavity and restarted my heart and breathing. EMP workers had successfully resuscitated my corpse.
    She told me the first words I said after being revived was, "But Mom, I don't want to go back.
    The whole ordeal is a complete black out, and I have no memory of this intense incident.
    I was transported to Providence hospital and was placed in ICU for 3 days.
    I woke up Sunday evening as nurses were removing the ventilator from my breathing passage.
    I was translated to Pacific physical therapy this past Friday for treatment and daily consultation and observation with a neurologists.
    I will be here 12 to 15 days and will be eventually released depending on how well I progress in following my treatment plan.
    I also had two seizures. One on the way to the hospital. One while I was in ICU on the ventilator.
    My brain Doctor said I cannot return to work for 6 months. DOT Medical says a CDL driver cannot return driving a commercial truck for a minimum of 6 months if he or she has suffered brain seizures.
    Please pray for my complete recovery and healing from this physical ordeal I'm currently going through. Very sincerely yours; Brother Mike Smith (Smitty).
    If you put God First, you have Him at Last.

    You are a living testimony of God's grace and power. Thank you Jesus!

    I pray your recovery will be equally miraculous as well as His presence and provision. Glory to God.

    Thanks so much for your kind words and support during this time of recovery. I'm very glad God intervened and I'm still here too. I'm too young to die. I haven't even seen any retirement years yet. God is so faithful. He has truly been good to me all these years I've been on this earth (66). Also, thanks to everyone who has already posted your show of support during this current trial I am going through. I love all my LFF family here. It will be so nice to meet and spend eternity with you all after Jesus comes back and we are celebrating around the table of the Lord. Again!
    If you put God First, you have Him at Last.
