Re: [QUAD-L] Suffocation

[David K. Kelmer]

Hi Mark,

 

I agree.  The first time I had suffer through a drowning that was quite unbearable, but once that was done there was nothing until I was resuscitated.

 

I count that time but my medical records show only 5 separate times that I have 'Coded' for three minutes or more.  They all were like a warm embrace against the cruel sting of life.  I chose the sting of life over the warm embrace of death, and have never regretted my choice.   

 

With Love,

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
