Wanda McQuiston Wisconsin
My story...
My name is Wanda McQuiston. In July of 2002, I was waiting for my bus with my husband, but plans changed. I experienced sudden cardiac arrest while at the bus stop. Luckily, someone who was with us dialed 911 and an ambulance came right away.
At the hospital I was in a coma for a day and night. I ended up needing to have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) to regulate my heart rhythm. In 2005, the unit needed to be replaced, and then in the fall of 2012, I underwent the procedure again.
In 2011, I was stricken once again with *** Cancer, but I am grateful to say I am in remission. Each day, I wake up grateful that I am here still and able to help others. I enjoy life with my husband Allen on our farm, spending time with our pet dogs and talking parrot.
