Life How Close Have You Come to Death?

**Rain Man** · 04-16-2019, 08:02 AM

My actual stories are boring. I got a stomach bacteria in college that I think would've killed me if not for five days in the hospital getting my stomach pumped.

In more recent years, I had a terrifying event for a few minutes. It was a weird fluke. I was in bed and rolled over and for some reason threw up a little, which had never happened before. Since I was lying down, it blocked my airway. I had about 20 seconds where I was sure I was going to die and then 90 seconds where I could just barely get enough air to not pass out. It was a glorious feeling to finally get a breath above the oxygen debt level. I never want to experience that again.

Boring maybe, but NO JOKE. Those freak stomach deals can make you wish for death. YIKES!

Yeah, it ended up costing me a year of college, too. It happened at exactly the wrong time.
