I then inhaled so strongly that I filled my lungs with blood and fluid therefore drowned myself on the OR table.
I then proceded to spew out the fluid all over while they attempted to put another tube down in me. I was at near death and was told I did die for a few seconds while they preformed CPR to revive me.
I survived thryoid cancer last december and never really felt threatened by death but this time has REALLY changed my outlook on my life. To be told that I'm lucky to be alive strikes a cord. In fact I went to ICU overnight and they were surprised at how quickly I recovered. Also mentioned they dont normally discharge paitents from ICU...guess most folks die there.
We all go thru alot in life but being told by several doctors how close I was to crossing over has really hit me. Life is a frail thing, we think we are so in control but death is the great equalizer that brings about a unique sense of helplessness.
My family all seem to hug each other a little tighter now.
Thanks for reading

Re: i died yesterday
you guys are truely my second family even when i go into winter hibernation.
Not to cry in my IPA but I did a follow up with my primary care doc today and she was REALLY p/o'd that ICU discharged me the next day AND that I went to work 2 days later. Got told to take a week off from work
So...I tell her I've had an increasing pain in my arm from the huge IV needle ICU put in. She had me go straight to the hospital for an ultra sound where they found 3 blood clots in my arm. 2 are in secondary veins and not that threatining but one is in what they call a deep vein. OK straight back to the PC doc and she has a somber concern about this. I start to get un nerved. I then get taken in the back and shown how to inject myself in the stomach with 80mg of lovenox blood thinner. This will continue for a week and blood thinner pills as back up for 3 months. Never done this before I have a new respect for folks that have to do this daily.
I guess Im unnerved by the uncertanty of these clots having the poitential to take me out in a blink of an eye. I am really gaining perspective on whats important in life God and family...that includes you guys.
This May I get 2 weeks vacation time. Count me in on an upcoming event, Nina and I would like to see you all in person

Been taken them daily since 2003.
Test my blood (INR) at home twice a month to ensure I keep it at the correct level.
Just follow what they say and I'm sure you will be just fine.

Re: i died yesterday
regarding the injections every day Pooly, welcome to the world of the insulin dependent. man I hate sticking myself every day. between the shots and the glicose testing it gets to be a real pain, no pun intended. But seriously, do this to get that clotting under control and you'll probably have the ability to be on the pills for it. mark

Re: i died yesterday
Wow. These stories are very inpirational. I am glad that everything is better now, Im sure it was hell on your families. My Grandpa had a stroke and was in a heart hospital for a month, he died twice coming back from one. It sure makes you appreciate the little things in life seeing that and definately more so going through it as I can only imagine. When my mom started having multiple hear surgeries every year about 2 years ago when I lived on my own, I stopped partying and hanging out with my peers and picked up hobbies that I have grown to appreciate alot more than getting into trouble and picking fights for no reason with people who act like they care, but really just want drama and booze. In turn that in time lead me here and I am glad that this car has brought so many people together from so many different backgrounds. This is the best forum I have ever read from. Speedy recovery to any and all going through anything regarding to this kind of thing, you will all be in my families prayers.

Thank the good Lord that you're still here to tell us your experience. I've never been on the edge as you were, but have been close enough to understand that we will have a journey when our body gives up.
