12. Closest to death I have ever been.

Closest to death I have ever been.

Two days unconscious, lots of blood, plasma and platelets.
Cat scan, surgery down the throat.
Didn't know a bit of it.
My girlfriend told me later.
Had an ongoing delusional dream with an ongoing storyline. Very complex.
DU was part of it.
Someone wrote a piece of code so bad that just opening the page crashed the internet (your computer) for about 40 minutes.
Of course dozens of folks copied and pasted it into their headlines.

Woke up very briefly realizing I might be about to die.
Was slightly pissed off about it until I realized I had no control over it.
Then stopped worrying about it.
Worried less than two minutes, maybe less than one.
One advantage.... there was no one else in the room to tell me what to think.
Thought that if I did not go back to sleep, I would not die. Not clear thinking.
Went to sleep not knowing if I was going to wake up. I was very aware of that.

Several days in ICU.
I owe those nurses something fierce.
Took them a large package of chocolates.

Woke up about 8:00.
Told gf to call my regular doctor and cancel my 5:00 appt.
Too late... it was 8:00pm

Don't know how I could possibly remember that appt.
