On May 22, 2023, I died of respiratory and heart failure from stage 3 sepsis due to an undiagnosed gall stone. I had been struggling with a mystery illness that had seen me collapse in a grocery store on May 9th 2023, and almost again on May 16th. Both episodes resulted in emergency room visits, but I had been misdiagnosed and my case slipped through the cracks due to a DNA mutation related to the numbing of pain.
I had a near-death experience in 1999. I careered off a mountain while hiking and was (for a period of approximately 30 seconds) facing almost certain death or catastrophic injury. Despite every sinew in my body keeping me upright and alive as I lost control, my “final” 5-10 seconds were “out-worldly.”
I was on my bed. I was done eating but something in my body felt out of place. I lay down to realize that there is food inside my lungs and my body was convulsing in order to counteract the circumstances and prevail to save the lungs.
I started to feel cold, feel a chill in my side, my hands, arms, legs and fingers, as if something of a vital fluid was unable to pulse with the reciprocating brain input.
I was in a coma due to accidental lithium poisoning. I briefly flatlined during that time. The cause was my doctor overprescribed lithium for me. I had been sick for months and I didn’t know what was going on and no one did anything about it even though the signs were problematic and apparently obvious and overt. Sometime during my time in the ER my lithium level was checked and it was at a toxic level. Poison Control was called to help manage my care.
I fell asleep around 11:30-12 midnight 7/8/2024-7/9/2024 on the sofa in my living room. My memory starts around 12:50 AM and gets progressively more intense until I wake myself up around 1:00 AM. My camera caught this incident.
I had a dream that felt as real as me sitting here typing this. I was in a home and there was a beautiful woman that was extremely peaceful and inviting. She spoke in a way that put me at ease. I remember the interior of the home down to the color of the sheets on the bed and the cabinets / dishes in the kitchen. I remember sitting around with her and another gentleman, just talking about life and enjoying a drink.
