True Mystery

The Mystery of the Dent in My Head is a short, humorous look at what happened when I died of a heart attack on August 15, 2015. I collapsed on the floor at a customer site. Paramedics shocked me five times on the way to the hospital, then two more in the ER before I was brought back to life. I was dead for over 20 minutes. Doctors placed a stent to open my widowmaker artery, then put me into a coma to save my brain function. Waking up from said coma, I was shocked to find a very large dent in my head. I have no idea how it got there. Neither does anyone else. Does this not strike you as odd?
