Happy Anniversary!

[Igor Stravinsky10]

One year ago today, I died for 12 minutes in the ER. Thank God I was there. I had been having chest pains and shortness of breath, but being a stubborn jackass, I ignored it and just kept going. A buddy and I were at the casino in Riverside on March 16th and I told him I wasn't feeling well so I'm going to the car for a nap. He walked out with me. Told me later that as soon as I sat down in the passenger seat, I slumped over and passed out. Apparently he broke every traffic law on the way, but he got me to Mercy Hospital in Iowa City. I vaguely remember walking in to the hospital with help from my buddy and a Security officer. My next alive memory is 2 nurses and a doctor standing over me. I remember asking if I won 🤔 and then telling them my chest really hurts. They all had absolutely shocked looks on their faces (like they had just seen someone come back from the deads.)

Anyway, 16 days later, I was released from the hospital. Pulmonary Embolisms (blood clots in the lungs) were the cause. Hug your loved ones tight when you can.

I know. CSB 😎

Congratulations, man.

Any memories from being on the other side?

Yes. Very difficult to describe. There was an extremely bright and shiny silver/gray color of light. I saw someone waving at me. I couldn't identify who it was. It was like someone standing in the shadows just out of the light from a streetlight. The nurses told me later that I kept reaching out with my arms. I remember being the most comfortable I have ever felt. Like the best nap ever. There is more, but even after a year of thinking about it every day, I still can't describe it enough to put it into words.

 

[HawkinK.C.1]

Damn buddy. Scary. Heck of a story. Glad you're still with us. Hate to ask, but, do you or your Doc think the covid vaccine could have played a role?

Covid and the vaccine did not play a role.

csb of the year. op, if i may ask, did that experience end up making any difference to how you view everyday happenings? for instance the politics of today, does it even register?

Thank you for sharing that.

Glad you're well, Igor!

 

[MitchLL]

Frankly, the most surprising thing about that story's that Igor has a friend!😁

 

[luvmyhawks]

Wow. Crazy story. Glad you are ok. How long had you been having chest pains and shortness of breath?

 

[gohawks50]

Wow. Crazy story. Glad you are ok. How lovely my had you been having chest pains and shortness of breath?

Auto correct or AI definitely did a number on your question.

Of course it made a difference in how I view every day life. Family, friends, HBOT 😁. Nothing political. I was dead. Now I'm alive. I can't control anything about politics so I just play the cards that life has dealt me and continues to deal me.

My backyard chickens were happy to see me when I finally got home 😁

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but like I mentioned earlier, due to my own stubbornness and stupidity, I just fought through the symptoms for 3-4 days.

I think I answered your question. Reading your post was a bit confusing 😁

That is one hell of a story, OP. Glad you're doing okay now.

Terrible avatar. Plus you might want to get the details of what hospital you went to corrected. Mercy Iowa city did not exist this time last year.

You sure it wasn’t someone in the hazy distance we know on this board, being @THE_DEVIL or just a crazy weekend in New Orleans?

Anyway, congrats on making it and staying on this side of the turf.

I still call it Mercy. As does every other normal person in the area. They have a mental health department that specializes in helping morons navigate through life. You should consider calling them for an appointment.

I hadn't thought about it that way. But yes, I guess I am technically a zombie 😃

do ya always lash out when someone corrects ya? Are ya sayin mercy has a mental health department or who ya talking about? Wonder if they have anythin for anger management?

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

Glad you made it through OP, I've always had an interest in NDEs so if you ever feel like sharing more of your experience here, I'd love to read it. Best to you.

 

[McLovin32]

You can give up the old man schtick. We all know this is you, IAFB.

You are a strange little boy. Take it the mods didn’t do anythin to ya last week. Don’t seem like they do much of anythin. Lucky for me I figured out the ignore button.

 

[McLovin32]

Yeah, you tagged a mod after I called you out and they realized I was correct.

Weird how that works, huh?

The Russian bot just broke.

I’ll have ta go back and see where they said ya were right.

 

[McLovin32]

You must have not figured out the ignore button after all.

Anyways, every time you post in this thread you're proving me correct. Constant slipups in your attempt to sound like an old timer.

 

[IACub]

Do you always need to come into threads where guys are being happy about being alive and feel the need to correct them for no reason? You're the asshole at every party that no one wants to talk to.
