The Cath Lab. Sedation. A stent in my heart. This was supposed to be the fix—but it left behind more questions than answers.

This episode dives into that strange in-between: the moment after the heart attack, when you’re alive, but everything feels… off. There’s sarcasm (still intact), paperwork I probably didn’t read, and the first time I hear the words “permanent heart damage.”

Also: what it means when your wife asks for help while you’re still pretending you don’t need it.

Not just about survival—but about the unraveling that follows.
