As of Dec 18th, I was 'dead'! and 3 days later I was dead again...

Kinda handy that I was at the hospital when it happened the first time...I was there for a job interview, working the night shift on the pc's in the offices keeping them 'regular'.

I was found slumped over in a chair with no life signs (pulse etc...) but they managed to bring me back 15 mins later (hurah)!

They planed to keep me in for a week for tests and scans etc,(fine I guess...) but 3 nights later death repeated itself on me (stuck there till the 28th)

so I missed XMAS totaly (but was ready for the new year)

RIGHT.....with that out of the way.........

where have I been?......hiding at work, over at Simon Wai's fourm and working on my website. (i'll update my sig with the url soon.....for now check out my Retro Sonic... section).

With the xmas work rush OVER, things can fianly return to 'Normal'. I will be on par for at least 3 new fan fics a week (sorry for the real lack in the past, but hey a new year...it can only get better!)

Greetings to the following people:

Curtis, IceMan2k, dibz, MasterAkumaMatata, mal, antime, cww80, Daniel Eriksson, racketboy, Meyitzo, Zziggy00 and ALL the other ADMIN/MOD's out there ...we will catch up later my friends!

.....all n00bs since i was last here, welcome, (i will find you and chat soon! )

sadly work is calling me now so i have to go.....

see you all in a few hours

oh and....happy new year to all .....i'm back!

I guess you think you're some kind of expert with Typing of the Dead now, eh?

Seriously though, that's a pretty freaky thing to have happen. Glad you're back to relate it to us. No more jokes about "graveyard shifts" for you then.

Really, I hope you make a full and permenent recovery. Please excuse my terrible humor. Keep well.

Just out of curiosity... What was the cause of the episodes?

I mean, people don't just have their body shut down and reboot like a PC or anything. Something has to bring it on...

Thats pretty messed up.

 Jaded God Jan 4, 2004
I don't think it is much to be proud of gaz... I would be scared shitless.

Anyways I just have to ask it... Did you see the light or something? You seem to have so much confidence waking back up, like a new respect for life. :smash

 Shitface Jan 4, 2004
Don't you start losing brain cells after a certain amount of time of no oxygen? Still, thats crazy stuff dude. Hope everthing is cool now.

 IceDigger Jan 4, 2004
Nice to see you back Gaz, don't go off dying again. It's bad for your health

 Gaz_2_k Jan 4, 2004

 Just out of curiosity... What was the cause of the episodes?


the cause of the 'Episodes' was 'ventricular fibrillation', in which the electrical activity of the heart is chaotic and the heart's main pumping chambers quiver, rather than beat effectively. This results in little or no blood being pumped throughout the body.

An ECG was performed twice, and came back the same, electrical activity of the heart was too low...I was on nothing at the time, and i'm on loads of medication now, with the talks of Heart surgery down the line.

NOPE! :lol: ....but i'm pushing for a full recovery too, tho i hate the fact i have to spend 3 weeks off from work (i was only in today to say hello to people and sort out sick time etc...i wanted to work, and be as normal as poss! )

anyhow, hope this answers some of your questions

and i'm touched to know you care

 Jaded God Jan 4, 2004

well i guess my nights on the pull are over but i'm not one bit bothered, as i've found happiness with her and will not be unfaithful (it's just not on...)

No, I never got the job in the end , closing date for the interviews was the 20th.

i'll keep checking for another job-op. again soon. :thumbs-up:
