Blessed with a Second Chance
Gallagher is likely to have more surgery on his leg and will stay in hospital for a couple of weeks before going home. In a couple of months, once he receives a prosthetic, he looks forward to returning to Papamoa Crossfit. I'm looking forward to the challenge.

It sounds silly but I just can't wait to get this stage out of the way. Gallagher said the crash was a "blessing in disguise" and felt his dead grandmother was looking out for him, he said. I've haven't got hardly a scratch on my body," he said. Despite his lust for life, Gallagher pauses when asked if he'll ever ride again.

Today, she is living in Singapore, still working as a lawyer, still a wife and mum. She is well, and she is alive. Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon recalled her remarkable story in a speech earlier this month on euthanasia and assisted dying. When The Sunday Times contacted Ms Chin for her story, she agreed only to answer questions via e-mail. Her husband, private investor John Alabaster, described what he went through too and said one thing was clear to him throughout their ordeal: April 20 started out as just another morning in their household.
The usual scramble to get the children off to school before Ms Chin took off on her usual morning hike with her dog. But a few minutes after leaving home, she returned.
She was in no pain but felt something was amiss. It was after she showered that she felt something was wrong and alerted her husband. She was taken unconscious to hospital and sent to the ICU. She had no history of heart problems, but had suffered a cardiac arrest.
It was a huge shock for her husband. One day, everything had been normal for the couple, both in their 40s, and their children then aged 12, and seven. The next day, she was in a coma and it looked very bad. The specialists told Mr Alabaster she had suffered brain stem death and he had to prepare himself for "letting her go".
The next day, a doctor asked him if he had thought about it because his wife was neurologically lifeless, a valve in her heart had been severely damaged and there was no point keeping her alive. Things looked "worse than bleak" but he refused to say yes to switching off his wife's life support, even though the doctor had been well intentioned.
'I have been blessed with a second chance'
Ms Chin opened her eyes to see her husband bending over her, then she realised they were not at home, and noticed the wires and tubes stuck all over her body. What remains vivid is what she described as a recurring vision during the lost days when she was in a coma.
A man appeared by my side. Connally encourages anyone experiencing migraines or excruciating head pain to schedule an MRI with his or her doctor. It saved my life. I thank God for the second chance.
