Anyone here ever have, or know someone who has had a Near-Death Experience (NDE)?

when i was in 7th grade, my mom and i went to taiwan to visit relatives. In taiwan the use of scooter type motorcycles is prevalent at least by US standards.

I rode on the back of a scooter while my mom was riding because we decided that it would be better to let my grandma ride the air conditioned bus. while my mom was riding she saw my grandma wave. So she waved back, but we bumped into another person riding a scooter. The other person and my mom skidded off the bikes and got back up.

I on the other hand, flew into the air and landed on my back. Before I knew what was going on, looking at the underside of the bus that my grandma was on. I could see the bus tire centimeters from my head. I rolled out from under the bus safely with only a couple of scars.

Later my mom told me that it was a red light that stopped the bus that would have crushed my head. Guess not all red lights are bad huh?

I have had a few near death ones - 2 car crashes, both solo, and in one I took out a street lampost and in the other I hit a tree (trees don't move!). In both instances I fell asleep at the wheel.

The biggie though was just a couple years ago. I was taken by ambulance to the ER because i couldn't breathe. While on the table in the ER room they gave me a narcotic to supress pain I was having. Next thing I know it was two days later and I woke up in ICU with a tube down my throat and feeling like I was going to die. Apparently the narcotic they gave me shut down my respiratory system and I stopped breathing. Nobody knows how long I was like that, but that is how a nurse found me and they went into panic mode!

No fun

peace out,
daddy

Thanks for sharing everyone.

Follow-up question: did your brush with death cause you to re-evaluate your life or change anything??

Yes. It made me realize that if I'm having a few beers with friends, it's better that they come to my house lol.
