I have often read about how people's lives are changed by near death
experiences. From my recent experience it's a load of tosh except for the
feeling of "I'm still here, spose I better get on with it then".



Anyone else had one?

read about?

I was having some fairly routine surgery (revision work) and some work done
on my nose to help my breathing when my anterior (sp) artery ruptured and I
dumped four pints of blood all over the operating theatre floor. My BP went
through the floor and set the alarms off. While they were looking for the
leak my heart, kidneys and liver started to fail so they had to get my BP
back up using plasma. Ten hours later they had completed the repairs. I had
four tubes coming out of my head, lots more going in to me and coming out
from me for six days. The only tube I liked was my catheter [1]. I then had
a reaction to the anti-biotic, which meant I vomited for 8 days. This is not
good when you're trying to make blood. I lost 8kg and dropped under nine
stone. They then discovered some necrosis on my forehead and decided to
operate. This was done under a local. I had what can be best described as an
abscess deep in my skull, which was the result of an old injury. Dr. Suporn
and his staff drilled a few holes and cleaned out the problem. It felt like
he was using an ice cream scoop, it was the most painful two hours of my
life and my body started shutting down again. They told me that given time
it could have eaten through my skull. So I really had two lucky escapes. I'm
well on the mend now and will start training again soon.

[1] I could pee the bed without getting it wet.

Sorry, I was being flippant in the name of comedy....with a small 'c'

That's quite a close call. I bet that makes you re evaluate some stuff?

I really care about Bear's toes.

Actually it didn't and that was the point of the thread. It was just a case
of "still alive, let's get on with it". No flashing lights or deep
meaningful insights, just vomit. No floating above the operating table or
light avoidance, just vomit.

heh, that would make a good sig:

"No floating above the operating table or light avoidance, just vomit."

Nope, several 'close calls' but I'm still the same loveable me.

Kinell. And I was worried about a ****ing kidney stone. Id've **** myself.
Mind you I've never had surgery so all that scares me anyway.
