Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is a belated message of gratitude to all those involved in saving my life. Included in this list are:

* my wife for calling the ambulance in time - 2 minutes later and more than likely I would not be here writing these words,

* the ambulance guys who resuscitated me a number of times and who worked and kept me alive during the trip from home to the hospital,

* Dr Rahman and his excellent team at the Gold Coast Hospital for reviving me numerous times, inserting the stents and stabilising me so that I was able to then undergo triple bypass surgery at the PA Hospital a few days later,

* Rachel and her nursing colleagues at the GC Hospital who kept me going and shared a joke or two with me in the early days,

* the doctors and nurses at the PA Hospital for their care and attention during and after the by-pass surgery,

* Sharon and her wonderful team at the Cardio Rehab Centre in Broadbeach for their support and encouragement getting me back on my feet, physically, emotionally and mentally after what I had gone through.

* Eileen the social worker who copped a lot of my frustration and anger during the early days of my recovery and who allowed me to vent and get things off my chest.

Thanking the above is the least I can do for what these guys did for me.

A truly heartfelt thank you to each and everyone of you for what you did for me.
