People who have had a near death experience, what was it?
The Accident and the Aftermath
Today is the anniversary of The Day My Life ended and nobody in the world cares so I’m sharing this story with you. I was riding shotgun with my brother and his best friend when suddenly I heard an explosion followed by a scream that sounded like a dying animal.
I quickly realized the scream was coming from me and then noticed the agonizing pain in my head and left shoulder. I couldn’t move my arm at all and I had no clue what happened as our car was still driving.
Eventually I managed to open my eyes despite the glass shards in them and saw the massive hole in the windshield right in front of me. I later found out that what happened was some guy decided to drop a massive Rock from the bridge above directly onto an oncoming car and that car just happened to be ours.
The Rock would have actually hit my head directly if I hadn’t been playing Pokémon go and hadn’t been looking to the left. That rock hit me on the left side of my Dome then bounced onto my shoulder.
Once I realized what happened I quickly called 911 for myself knowing I only had a few minutes left to call my husband and say goodbye before my brain swelled and I passed away right there. I called him immediately after and he made me promise that I’d still dance in the rain with him.
My brother pulled out of the highway and the ambulance met us at the exit and at that point I started to have what we thought was a seizure. Turns out it wasn’t. I was going into shock which came with violent shaking that resembled convulsions.
I remember laying in that seat seeing the emergency lights flashing and the door opening to reveal several EMTs and a couple of state troopers. Behind them was my husband’s face. He looked calm and loving. He’s always been my rock. He didn’t want my last moments to be seeing his face in panic.
I smiled at him and focused really hard on trying not to give into the shock or lose Consciousness. I thought of my best friend who lived nearby, of the past 10 years that we’d spent together, how everything with him had gone to poop because of his addiction. I thought of my parents.
The EMTs were trying to figure out how to move me to the stretcher and because I had shards all over my neck they couldn’t put a neck brace on me. My neck didn’t hurt so I was fairly confident my neck wasn’t broken. I stabilized my own head, looked straight forward, got up and laid myself down on the stretcher because that was all we could do.
My husband stood by in silence and I looked at him and reassured him everything was going to be fine. Those might have been my last words.
When I got into the ambulance a state trooper had shown up and was photographing me in my horribly messed up shoulder for the investigation. Of course they hadn’t caught the person who dropped the Rock and in my crap hole of a city where crime now runs rampant they never would.
After I was strapped in and ready to go my husband got into the shotgun seat of the ambulance and I told him to call my parents. My mom didn’t answer so he called my father who has always been a total piece of crap who really wouldn’t care if I was here or not.
He picked up and my husband handed me the phone through the little window. After I told him what happened he was just annoyed.
It’s 11:00 at night and we have to wake up early tomorrow. We can’t talk to you now and Mom is already in bed he said.
I told him there might not be a tomorrow and said I just wanted to talk to my mom. He angrily handed her the phone and as she complained about it being late I heard him yelling at her to hurry up in the background.
I told my mom exactly what happened but lied through my teeth and reassured her that I was going to be fine. I told her I just wanted to send her the pictures of the crime scene and my injuries. She complained that her phone was plugged in in the bathroom and she was already in bed.
I eventually got her to look and her reaction was as if I just told her I got a fish hook through my thumb.
She then said okay I’m going to bed now I have to be up early in the morning rest up.
