The Day I Forgot - But Will Always Remember relates the story of a woman who suffered sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) while walking in a 10-mile road race. Readers are given an inside look at her struggle with posttraumatic stress, cognitive challenges, and adjusting to her new reality. This book raises awareness of a hidden, often-deadly heart condition. It provides survivors and survivors' family and friends with a better understanding and mindfulness of the challenges SCA survivors deal with daily. Included are stories from other SCA survivors, from across the county, who share the difficult aspects of their encounter with death and of reentering this life. Frequently asked questions, case studies, articles, and resources that can equip the bystanders on how to administer immediate treatment with CPR, or an automated external defibrillator (AED) to give the victim the best chance at life is also included.
