I too spent 10 hrs in brain surgery (ruptured brain aneurysm) and I guess that would have been my most important hrs while unconscious. Waking up to find my husband & son there, and my daughter having flown up from TX, my mom driven from Delaware and my brother having flown on an emergency military flight from San Diego and to find I was not only alive but somewhat lucid I guess would be my next most important eight. My life hasn't been the same since & I now appreciate things I used to take for granted. I must be here for a reason.
