Close as in watching someone you love dying??? Yes!

Once and it was scary. I found I have an allergic reaction that hard way. Very scary, but exhilerating. Don't get me wrongs I never want it to happen again.

Depends on what you mean by "close", I suppose. Near collision in a car? Flatlined and brought back from the white ball of light? Or somewhere inbe tween. I've been in situtations like the former, but never like the latter.

mm sort of.... I was in the middle of a Upper GI endescope procedure and was supposed to be asleep but they didnt give me enough to knock me out.. so I woke up and started to freak out... with the camera down my throat I could have punctured my stomach and was told I came very close to doing so. Ugh.

Nope, except I have had some asthma attacks where I felt like I was dying!

Yes. I came very close to dying when I gave birth to Kimberley. I ended up in ICU for nearly 24 hours. It was a bit unsettling when they finally transferred me to the regular maternity ward and the nurse informs me that I had them all worried the night before because they thought "they were going to loose me."

Nope..come close by car accident once...and everything seemed to go so slowly...I can recall exactly what happend in my mind right now...but it didnt hurt me to the point that I almost died.

Its very hard to talk about it for me, but I have faced death when I was with my ex bf, he almost choked me to death, putting a pillow on my head and I couldn't breath, I have been in a very bad relation ship for 6 years, where he would beat me, throw me through the house, and put pillows on my head so I couldn't breath. I was too scared to leave, till I met my husband, he made me see how A woman should be treated, and I left my ex. now I am happily married to my husband, someone who knows how to treat a woman!

I worked in a Nursing home for nearly 2 years and watched a few people die.

Got to be too much for this gal and I had to move on and find something else to do to make a living.

unfortunatly yes when I was 12 I fell down a 40ft cliff and landed very wrong I ended up not being able to walk for 2 months. Then there was the time I had a allergic reaction to something and my body went into a seizsure and my throat was swelling shut and all I had was my nose to breathe from my husband was freaking out My youngest was 3 months old and I ended up not being able to use my right side of my body for 3 weeks I had to have help to take care of my baby and my other kids and not to mention showers and stuff. Oh what memories hope that helps at all

I was eating a sub sandwich with some friends once & got choked. I couldn't breathe & remember as things were fading away I could barely see my friend hitting me in the chest. I felt the food come out & the air fill my lungs. I would have passed out in another two seconds if he didn't do what he did. I remember looking around the resturant at the people just staring at us.

My parents tought so... when I had meningitis at age 3... but then it was not the bad kind, but I know they were really scared.

Posted 4/17/2002 3:35 AM by peke - reply

Yep...the meningitis one, but the bad one. I was 4. But I only remember the days when things started to get well.

I've faced death a couple of times.

Both with clients (I'm a psychologist), grown-up ones and babies, as with 2 of my own babies.

I nearly died during surgery (the anesthetic failed, the muscle relaxant was active. So I couldn't breath on my own, but they couldn't get me intubated), after a delivery (nearly bled to death), and when having a severe uterus-infection, which was spreading rapidly.

If you need to know something, mail me.

Good luck!
