I had knee replacement surgery about, I think it was 12 years ago. And I came home from knee replacement surgery and walked in the house the day after and collapsed. And I thought, wow, okay, I'm just weak from surgery. So my wife helped me get in bed. And I was the sickest I've ever been in my life.

And the voice said, you're dying of a heart attack. Call 911. And I yelled out to my wife in the other room. I said, I'm dying. Call 911. 911. Next thing we know, the paramedics over there checked me off. They said, no, he's fine. Just let him get some rest. I looked at them. I said, I am dying. Get me to the hospital. Took me to the hospital. Willed me in. Did the MRI. Did the echo.

So I'm laying there and my wife and my three daughters, I'm going to say I wouldn't be who I am today without my wife and my family because they have helped to make me who I am. That's amazing. By God's grace. They're all crying. And they said, what's going on? I said, the doctor says I'm dying. They have to do surgery immediately and that I should say goodbye to you. And there's this long pause.

And my middle daughter looked at me and said, dad, I don't understand something. If God woke you up and spoke to you to get you to the hospital for surgery, why would he let you die here? And I said, you're right. I'll see you in the morning. The surgery was successful. Just before that, I had climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. I'm in excellent shape.

I went from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to my life being at risk just within a space of six months.
