About this ebook
After a dangerous combination of prescription medications pushed his body beyond its limits, Robert B. Routt suffered cardiac arrest, fell into a coma, and woke up partially paralyzed. What followed was a brutal fight back—through rehab, fear, and self-forgiveness.
This is not a feel-good recovery story. It is an honest account of how pain, trust in a broken system, and silence nearly cost everything—and how perseverance, family, and faith made survival possible.
