I remember the day very well. I was being discharged from the hospital after having been there for almost 2 months. I had survived a cardiac arrest, very major abdominal surgery and almost every known complication following that. Finally, I could go home. My husband (now an ex) picked me up early on his way to work. When he came to the ward to get me, he said “you will never believe what just happened – a plane crashed into the WTC.” We got into the car and were driving home with the radio on and the second plane hit the second tower. When I got home, he helped me into the house. I sat in my den all day long alternating sleeping with watching TV and trying to absorb what had actually happened. I don’t think that the television was even turned off for several days. It certainly was a day of infamy and I shall never forget 9/11.
