Happy Anniversary!

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.
Guess if I was sharing a story with details about bein alive. I’d try to get the details correct. Thus I was just helpin him correct his story. He does not care to tell the correct details. So be it. Not sure why others like yaself feel the need to be involved.

For someone so concerned about details, you sure don't give a shit about spelling and punctuation.

He's struggled with that under his other handles so he just figured if he constantly spelled things incorrectly as part of his new schtick/handle, nobody would know who he was.

So now you're calling it Mercy? Maybe you should get the details of the hospital correct.
I apologize for letting you know it is and was at the time of your incident called UI Health Care Medical Center Downtown. I didn’t know it would cause you and others so much grief. I am glad to hear you are 1 year removed from being dead and I wish you nothing but the best in the future.
I will not apologize for my comments towards your avatar. That was a shitty decision you purposely made.

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 😎
Glad you are alive and well.

That's a very scarry read.

I'm glad you didn't die 🤩

I have a few health issues and I'm very lucky to have a fantastic health care team taking care of me.

Go see your doctor people especially when you reach your 40s.
 
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.
Thank you. Like I said previously it is difficult to describe. I have talked to hundreds of people about it. Family, friends, medical professionals, clergy. Questions during those conversations help trigger my memory of it. I'm ok talking about it, so if you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks for the opportunity. People who have gone through similar experiences sometimes have a complete disassociation from their physical bodies and the people they are leaving behind, as though they have become emotionally and physically unattached from everything in the physical world, even spouses and their children. Do you recall such a moment like observing your body from outside of yourself or seeing your friend in the car and his reaction?

Oftentimes those who are revived speak of experiencing an overwhelming feeling of love and peace during the NDE and when they are revived they sometimes find themselves angry or depressed at being brought back to their physical state. Commonly they are told that it isn’t their time to be there. I’m just curious if you experienced anything like that? Also, do you have a gut feeling on who that person was that was just outside of the light you saw?

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.
What if you actually entered and remain in The Matrix??????

These are great questions. A lot to think about here.

I do recall seeing myself in my friend's car, but not physically. It felt like I was there with him but it also felt like I was just watching us driving down the road together. Like I was watching us from somewhere else. He kept his hand on my shoulder during the whole drive, physically, but the view in my mind was as if I was sitting on the hood of the car looking in the windshield at us for awhile. Then (in my mind) I was standing on the side of the road and watched us drive by.

I definitely felt love and extreme peace. Like I mentioned earlier, the best nap ever. When I was revived, I wasn't angry or depressed. The nurses told me that I was hilarious, asking if I won. I honestly have no idea what I was hoping I won. I was told that I was almost overly polite with all my "Thank you for saving my life" comments. My doctor told me a few days later that she was shocked at how coherent I was when I first woke up. She has a notebook full from her chats with me while I was still hospitalized.

My gut feeling is that my Grandpa was waving at me.

There is still so much more, but like I said earlier, I can't find the words to describe what I saw.
 
Well, back to the hospital for me. I had my weekly check up this morning and my INR level (thickness/thinness of blood) was way off. My doctor called the hospital and already has me checked in. I'll be on an IV and they will have to adjust my meds, so I'll be there a minimum of 4 days. That will make 66 days/nights in the hospital since last March. At least I'll get to see every minute of March Madness this weekend 🙂
