Re: [QUAD-L] Suffocation

[Oconnelldb]

I passed out from a kid choking me in high school.  Pretty painless actually, struggling then black.   No bright lights - BUT I was gone about 15 seconds. I did float up after breaking my neck.  Pretty cool feeling floating around.  Then my buddy shook me awake - back to reality.   No real pain involved tho - just a minor stiff neck.

Everyone said there would be a white light. I'd meet dead relatives,, or at least St. Peter. Honest,, it was just poof..no pain, no more hassle, nothing. I think the dying part was almost comfortable compared to the injury that got me there and oohhmmyy,, it hurts to be brought back! I have my DNR filled out now.   john     In a message dated 6/5/2006 5:45:27 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Yup, when I became stricken with TM I kept telling the nursing and respiratory staff I couldn't breathe but they refused to believe me (cuz my color was good??) until I died and they had to resusitate me then put me on a vent that I stayed on for 6 months. But, the actual dying part wasn't so bad I just got very tired of struggling and simply lost conciousness and poof I was gone.   Steph   Dave www.daveoconnell.com c3-inc-1967
