That's ( a ) very intense ( read ), although it probably doesn't come close to the experience.
I'm glad you were able to share it with us and that you're doing better now. Perhaps you were meant to experience all this to become an even more intriguing writer and to teach others? I thoroughly hope that you don't need to go through this ( many ) more times.
Just wondering, have you done any surfing lately or is it too cold for that?
