Description
In 2015, Alan Fraser was in the best physical condition of his life. But then one day after training he went home and realized that something just wasn't right. Thankfully his (now) husband Tim jumped into action and drove a couple hours to see why Alan had stopped responding when Tim kept checking on him. Tim found Alan unconscious in his bed, helped revive him and then rushed him to the nearest ER. They were told later that if he hadn't come in at that time, he wouldn't be with us today. His condition was so bad that the medical team had to put him in an induced medical coma in order to save his life. He was "out" for two weeks. He describes how the induced coma saved his life, but it had other severe consequences that would impact him the rest of his life.His story is real, it's heartfelt and it has meaning and a message for all of us... Listen as he describes the ordeal that he had to endure and he shares what he's learned from this experience.NOTE: This is a re-issue of an earlier episode when my podcast was new. I'm re-sharing some of the best ones as a Friday feature, since more people will now be able to hear and learn from it.Photo: Copyright Wilkinson/2022Opening and closing music courtesy the very talented Zakhar Valaha via Pixabay.To contact Wilkinson- email him at BecomingWilkinson@gmail.com

What in the World is an Ex "Ex-Gay"? I'm gay. Now I'm "saved". They can "fix" me. I can help fix others. Oops, nope- I'm gay after all. The very hilly ride of the ups and downs that religious folks offer as an unworkable solution. by Becoming Wilkinson
