Ben Askren, a former Olympic wrestler and MMA fighter, has undergone a double lung transplant after a severe case of pneumonia. His wife noted that he required a ventilator and was placed on the donor list for a lung transplant. Askren has little recollection of the month-long illness, stating he only died four times during that period. He experienced significant weight loss and expressed profound appreciation for the support he received during his ordeal, likening the love felt to having his own funeral. He has a notable athletic background, having competed at the Olympics and in various MMA organizations.
I just read through my wife's journal. It's like a movie. It's ridiculous. I only died four times, where the ticker stopped for about 20 seconds.
The thing that was most impeccable to me was all the love I felt. It was almost like I got to have my own funeral.
