My first job out of high school was in the city about 15-20 miles away. I did not own a car so I hitchhiked to and from work every day. I used to stand on a traffic island that had a blinking light on it and stuck my thumb out after work and usually I could get a ride in 10- 15 minutes. To get to this traffic island I had to cross a busy turnpike. I always looked both ways and ran across. One Friday night in January I ran across and somehow I was struck by a speeding car. I got a glancing blow but it was enough to send me hurtling through the air. I can remember seeing the hiway coming up close and seeing little bits of broken glass and plastic, the result of a thousand rear enders.
Months earlier a homeless man was hit near that area and cars just kept running him over, thinking he was a pile of rags.
As soon as I was struck, I immediately knew I was dead. I knew I would soon be reduced to a pile of rags. Instead of getting scared, I was strangely calm, thinking it wouldn't be a bad way to go if it didn't hurt too much, besides I wasn't doing anything great with my life anyway.
All of a sudden it got quiet. When I looked up everything was bathed in this weird light, sort of like one of those sodium lamps. All the cars were in slow motion as if they were practically frozen. Somehow I got to my feet and finished running across the road. As soon as I got to the other side everything sped up and went back to normal. As if that wasn't weird enough, I felt like I could sense other people who have had similar experiences.
Then I could taste my own blood and found that I had bit through my lower lip.
I limped for a couple of weeks after that but I never figured out what happened.

Yes i accidentally overdosed on pain meds then i took a little nap only to being woken up to being lifted out of my body like a ghost into the ceiling and then somehow thrown back into my body and then it happened again and again as if i was in and out of consciousness i finally begged God to help and somehow i was flown back into my body and woke up with an irregular heart beat for a few minutes and then it when back to normal. I totally Believe God saved me that day otherwise i would be in the Depths of hell.

One time, a part of my intestine, called the appendix, became inflamed, and I was going to die if I didn't have surgery. I didn't go to the hospital for three days because it was only a mild pain. Then I went to the hospital and they explained the situation. I visited two hospitals during the night to have surgery. I was in another city, my family wasn't with me, I was alone. It was a terrible experience.

Only two incidents stand out

I got pulled into deep water in a pool on holiday in Lanzarote, my brother got me back to shallow waters

When my myopericarditis first happened I thought it was a heart attack so I wrote an improv will then called for an ambulance (that still took 3 hours to arrive)

Yes. I did die. God told me it wasn't my time yet. And here I am.
