Mine is waking up after months in a coma.  Not having any memory of anything except my kids and husband.  I was then told I was no longer married and then I begged to speak to my Mom and I was told my Mom died 1 year earlier.  I wasn't even in the State where I had gotten ill.  Now, I still have amnesia and my short term memory is barely there.  I write a lot of things down.  I then was told I married again and I do not remember getting married again (after the West Nile Encephalitis).  The man took advantage of me and my very serious condition.  I am still trying to find a lawyer to get it annulled.  My life has been hell ever since I woke up. Sometimes I wish I never woke up.  And I also had to be brought back to life 2 times, I do not recall anything.  I do believe this is a good thing in the long run.  But I had to teach myself how to write, add, subtract, type, etc. again.  I did not get any help from anyone until about 9 months ago.  The rehab program is wonderful and I am not the same person, but I know that I just have to survive differently.  Your Dad was a very lucky man.  He didn't get any brain damage from that incident.  He would have been in the same situation as I am now.\nI'm glad he is okay and you didn't have to endure a great loss.

I have had 2 that I can think of.. probably more if I put my mind to it.. :)\nI was swimming under a floating raft in a lake and got my foot tangled in the chain underneath that was attached to the anchor that kept it from floating away.. I was pulled out from under it 2 minutes later and woke up to my sister pushing on my chest and some guy I don't know giving me the liplock of life.. I heaved up a whole lot of water.. but here I am :) .. the other one was when I reached into a mailbox in a thunderstorm.. lightning hit the wooden mailbox post and shattered it while my hand was inside. I got a small zap from it and sat or fell onto the sidewalk.. my mother came out screaming saying my hair was steaming :) go figure? I lived.. no worries.. life is full of them.. people are like cats.. just not as lucky.. if only we had 9 lives.. then I could have 6 more near death experiences.. what a thrill that would be :) naw.. I am joking.. it is scary to imagine what not having the luck to walk away from it would mean.

Once, this morning, I realised that my work computer was missing. It had clearly been taken by one of my housemates, so I did a dump on their bed, and rubbed it in a bit, and I dropped some scabs in their porridge.\n\nImagine my embarrassment when I got work only to be reminded that I was sacked last week for doing a dump on my boss's desk, and that I had been forced to hand over my computer at that point.\n\nWe had to laugh. Well I did, my housemates haven't come home yet.

I was in the Air Force driving 1000 miles to go home for a month leave. While I was driving in the high mountains around Reno, I fell asleep. I was traveling about 85 mph. My truck veered off the highway. As soon as I felt the truck leave the highway, I woke up and found I was heading downward on the gravel part of the side of the highway. My truck seemed to be driving itself I was in shock. The steering wheel was moving under my hands. I can't describe it any better than this. As the truck moved back up to the highway, I pulled over and tried to calm down. It was a really frightening moment. What was even more frightening was just 1/4 mile more and the side of the highway no longer had gravel. There were large boulders. I still get chills thinking about it.\n\nTill the day I die, I know I was not the one driving my truck at that moment.\n\nbtw - I have had several other experiences where the circumstances involved other than human interaction. I guess I am just one of the few to have been fortunate enough to experience it.

True Story: \n\nI was in the basement f'ing around with a television I got out of a dumpster when I literally electrocuted myself. I fell to the ground and could not move. \n\nI prayed to God that my wife upstairs would come find me. \n\nI heard footsteps upstairs... She was headed to the basement door! I could see her shadow approaching it.\n\nI started to thank God for answering my prayer when my wife said: "No wonder it's so cold up here! Shut the God Damn Door!" and she slammed it shut.\n\nAnd I continued to lay there.

The best thing: the world around me and learning about it little by little every second.\n\nThe worst is the torture in life I struggle around to last in every day...Living is the pain that causes me to think over if I did what was right to be born...

I witnessed a man who had beaten his girlfriend push her out of a moving car right in front of my house when I was about 15. I remember screaming because I couldn't believe it happened and right in front of my eyes.\nI lived in Flordia for about a year and we were going down Interstate 4 when a girl talking on her cell phone (who was driving very fast) passed us and then on up ahead she hit a semi truck and her car went up under the trailer and exploded. Everyone stopped and you could hear the girl screaming and fire was blazing up the sides of the trailer. No one not even the truck driver had a fire extingusher. She died and I had nightmares about that for years  to come.

They were the worst for me.  I was awkward and the kids were really cruel.  I felt so alone. I thought about killing myself sometimes because I did not think it would end.  Now I wish I could go back and hold my own hand.  I think of that poem, Persephone.\n\n"My dear, my dear, it's not so dreadful here."

Indirectly, I would have to say seeing and hearing both my father and step-father dieing in agony of cancer within one year. That was God awful to experience. I heard them both cry out in misery while suffering through the disease. I watched them both waste away to skin and bone from once being big strong healthy men. \n\nI've lost a lot of friends and family to that horrible disease.

The day my daughter was born (2000).  My family had not gotten together in years, but since I am the baby girl of the family having a baby everyone was there.  The saddest day was when my grandmother's funeral (1992).  The was so much fighting that it was horrible.

That's a horrible thing to deal with.  The fact that you survived speaks volumes.
