Borrowed Time
Borrowed Time

November 15th 2016, spinal stenosis surgery left me not at my best,
On December 27th, during Open Heart Surgery, they cracked my chest.
And three days later on January 1st I experienced Sudden Cardiac Arrest,
God gave me a near death experience, which became my ultimate test.
Had I been in a conscious state I couldn’t have expected
To recover from Sudden Cardiac Arrest just three days after open heart surgery and 1-1/2 months after spinal stenosis surgery. But God knows I’m a fighter and since I have, I envision myself as living on borrowed time. Each morning I feel blessed to have another day while trying not looking beyond it as far as life on earth is concerned. I try to forget the inconvenience that my current situation finds me in and my other ailments that time has bequeathed to me that hinder my ability to do much. God promises three score and ten and has lent me nine more and I continue to count.
