It was July 4th 1989. I had gone to Alabama to see my Ex, along with some friends. We were down by the river, shooting fireworks, when my Ex's step-father called my name, and when I turned around, he swung with a club (modified baseball bat) and hit me upside the head.
I had been diagnosed with a fairly rare congenital heart defect, non-compaction ventricular cardiomyopathy, which can have the first symptom be sudden death.
I was dying from necrotizing fasciitis, and they were going in to clean out the infection.
It all began during a minor back surgery.
It all sounds like a crazy story but here it is, as short and as simple as I can write it.
