A telephone pole fell on top me hitting me in the head and shoulder. Spent one and half months in a coma. Then about four more months in rehabilitation.
At first the doctors told my family there was very little hope. Code blue was called three times on me.
What do you remember?
Not much. About three months later I started to remember somewhat who I was, but still couldn’t walk or talk very good. Had a tracheotomy three months, had problems breathing, that was bad. These are things my mother told me about what I was like. Truthfully I remember only very few things about the first four months in the hospital. Those first months was very very strange. It would take me a long time to explain the weird experience that took place.
Anyways when I finally came home almost six months latter it was also weird because I came home like a “ghost’. It was like no one saw me as real. Almost everyone wrote me off as a being real. Guess it was because I was supposed to be be dead and they didn’t know what to say.
I fell asleep at the wheel one night and I veered into the median strip. All the bouncing up and down woke me up.
I did that once too!
I've almost been run over by cars a number of times.
I went skydiving once. That can end badly if anything goes wrong.
I walked through Chicago at night.
I walked through Milwaukee at night.
I went to Gary Indiana.
I got stuck in Indianapolis at night
Alright alright I'm kidding with the cities. Kinda.
Yeah crossing the busy street at 6 years old I don't know why but i ran across the street my mom was screaming and crying luckily nobody hit me this old couple almost did. But i guess God decided it wasn't my time cause that would have been the end of me lol
drowning, almost getting hit on foot several times, oh man... it all just left my mind. sorry
oh, how did I survive, well... either by someone, or just fighting through it, or other things
Drowning? Yikes! Were you little?
yes, and teens
Meant ' almost drowning', on several times
I piss off the devil everyday 😂
I jumped out of a car that went in a pond of water a few months back.
Oh my!!! I'm glad you are safe.
Twice. Once as a rescue worker, when an F-1 car bounced off the retaining wall at 300Kph and burst into invisible flames. I was lucky it missed me.
Second, driving my car full of passengers in an icy snowstorm, I narrowly missed hitting a dump truck heading. I swerved and buried the car in a massive snowbank.
Head on***
Not really... I've just been very safe doing very dangerous things.
400 jumps from an aircraft.
Lowest was 800'. Highest was 25,000.
Locking out of the escape hatch of a submarine 60 miles off the Atlantic coast.
Rappelling off of a 400' building downtown Hong Kong with no belay.
Hitting 135 mph when I should not have been driving.
Just to name a few.
Sounds exciting! Wish I was there for the jumps.
Half dozen times. The first two to come to mind were getting hit by a semi truck doing 50mph, $11,000 damage to my poor truck. I walked away with neck and back strain. Also had a severe allergic reaction to chemical exposure.
i jumped out of a window when i had my psychosis episode, which means i broke away from reality. i was so lucky because it was quite high up but i didn't break any bone
I was on fire. Burned 20% of my body and was told 50% wouldn’t have survived
That sounds excruciatingly painful.
How did get "on fire"?
@Andres77 it was a propane explosion
Glad you made it through
@Andres77 I was in the hospital a month
Oh my goodness! That must have been excruciating. Way to cheat death!
@loves2learn I was fortunate. I ended up in the best burn center in the country Parkland Hospital in Dallas
Very lucky indeed
I don't think i have cheated death but death give me another chance. I got shot and I think it was a miracle
That is a miracle.
One time I got a shock of 1,300 volts from one hand, through my chest, and to the other hand. It could have killed me, but thankfully I survived. I made sure I never allowed that to happen again! It took about 20 to 30 minutes for my heartbeat to return to normal.
Almost got shot in the military. Almost got blown up as well.
As for the gunfire I survived it by taking cover. As for almost getting blown up someone drug me to safety.
Thank you for your service
👍👍
Yes I was 23 and I had a 4 wheeler accident. Was out cold in the desert in Dubai at night. Random passer by saved my life
I have a vivid memory of almost drowning when I was four or so. It was extremely peaceful and I just looked up on the border of air and water.
I fainted once as a teenager. I remember the peacefulness too.
I've come to regret it didn't happen. My uncle noticed and pulled me out of water.
I olso feel very peaceful when i faint first time, i kinde feel bad back then for been wake up to feel again the pain.
had a close call as a teen. fell down my bunk bed head first tried to stop my fall and broke my arm. could have easily broken my neck right then.
A few times.
First time at birth.
Second time when I was two, and almost hit by a car.
At 5, when a car almost hit me when I was on my bike.
I was born premature, had skull reconstruction at six months and almost died on the operating table.
