I am still attached to the heart monitor with wires everywhere and I can watch my breathing scattered across the screen in sharp thin lines. "They finally just turned the alarms off." There is an aging in his face as he tells me this. "I thought you were going to die." He puts his face in his hands and turns his back to me.
