Diving saved my wife's life

[RIHappyDiver]

Not that we’ve interacted that much, but I’ve been wondering where you’ve been. I’m sorry to hear that it was such a traumatic event that has had you missing, but I’m tremendously relieved to hear that it ended in a positive result. I’m also glad to hear that your training kicked in and you were able to use that training to achieve that positive result.
Enjoy the new hobby that you will share with her, and the time you’ll spend together doing it!

Wow. Very glad she’s okay. Very scary how quickly your life can change completely

Sorry you can’t dive anymore, but saving her seems worth the price

Even when I can’t get in the water, lurking here makes me feel good. We’ve all shared the wonder beneath the waves

Both of you take care

It wouldn’t feel right to go on exotic dive trips without her, so we’re both stepping away from diving.

Sorry to hear your wife had to give up diving , and well done on the CPR.
I now have an AED in the house
My wife also had to give up diving due to a debilitating illness, with no cure.
Only my situation is different, my wife insisted I continue diving, as an example, I am on my way to Bali and while I am away I have a carer [ a close friend to my wife and I] stay with her for the 10 days while I am away.
It is hard I know, but my fantastic wife found a way.

Edit: I have done CPR for real twice in my life , first time we brought a young guy back [2 of us, and we were young and fit], 2nd time, worked on my next door neighbour [52 years old] for 25 min until the ambos arrived, this was few years ago, he did not make it.

I digress.
I hope it all works out.

I am on the one hand sorry for this to hsppen to you. But on the other hand I am really glad, that you could save her life.

Despite I take a cpr course, last one about a month ago, I have luckily never been in this situation. I am really afraid, if I would be able to recognize and react like you did. Great job!

My neighbour did the same for his wife during the night, but she had an aneurysm in her head which bursted (is that the right terminology?), and he saved her life.

So I think besides taking a regular cpr course, one should frequently remind and visualize important steps.
