-I used to like swimming and cycling, -and playing my guitar. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
-I used to like painting. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
-I wouldn't call myself a musician -or an artist, but I enjoyed them. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
-In 2006, it all came to an end. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
-I could hardly walk or breathe. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
-I couldn't do anything -I'd been doing before. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
-I had a cardiac arrest. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
-There wasn't enough strength in -the heart muscle to pump the blood. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:42 | |
-My heart stopped. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
-So, in truth, I died. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
-It turned out that I'd had -the disease for about 25 years. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
-But it got worse gradually. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
-What went through my mind -while all this was happening... | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
-..was that my quality of life -at the time was very poor. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
-Whatever they did to me -didn't frighten me at all. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
-I just thought that one -of two things could happen here. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
-I was either going to die -or I was going to get better. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
-I didn't want to live the way I'd -lived for the previous four years. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
-So, I was quite laid back -about everything. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
-I didn't care what they did, -as long as they made me better. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
-The question I've considered -more than once... | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
-..is who was the person -who gave me this heart. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
-Who is their family? -What's their story? | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
-Up to now, -I've chosen not to know... | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
-..how old the person was... | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
-..how they died and whether -they were male or female. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
-I've chosen not to know, -because once you know... | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
-..you can't get rid -of that knowledge. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
-I have big plans. -I'm looking forward to the future. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
-I look forward to waking up -every morning. I'm full of energy. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
-Of course, I'm restricted -in what I can do at the moment... | 0:02:17 | 0:02:23 | |
-..but I'm confident -about the way things are going. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
-I can already do a lot more -than I could six months ago. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
-Of course, I've been very lucky -to get a second chance. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-If someone asked me -to donate my organs... | 0:02:46 | 0:02:51 | |
-..to a good cause or for research... | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
-..or to give to someone -who needed them... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
-..how could I refuse? | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
