028 Journey of Survival and Resilience with Jon Johnston

My interview with Jon Johnston. He’s a survivor of a widow maker heart attack and a cardiac arrest that caused him to be without oxygen for 20 minutes, technically dead. He is also an author of two books and a sports website owner. Today he talks to me about his life before his event and how he died but miraculously survived. He shares with me how he pieced together what had happened with the help of family and friends along with his realisation that he was not the only person affected. His heart attack impacted his family and friends in ways that he didn’t expect. Due to oxygen deprivation Jon now lives with a traumatic brain injury and yet during his recovery, he has penned two books to help himself and others with their own recovery. We talk about how Jon lives his life happy and has ambitions for the future despite the change to his life, health, and knowledge that he will never be the person he once was. We talk about Jon’s books and he shares some content with us. Some of his tried and tested activities have helped him and will help you too.You can find the links we mentioned here: www.Manageyourdamage.com www.Jonjohnston.comBeen Dead, Never Been To EuropeManage Your Damage – Heart Attack SurvivorRead the complete article here Podcast & Blog Page.Getting to know Sallie CrawleySurvivorship after a heart attack or cardiac surgery can be challenging.
