On December 1, 1986 I was in a head on collision with a drunk driver. I think my coma was induced because of severe bleeding of my face. I had a closed head injury and was told my brain tripled in size. Due to swelling, they couldn't perform a CAT scan until three days after the accident. I don't remember anything. The first year after the accident is like a blur. I am now divorced. My communication skills are not as good. I'm much more irresponsible. I've had trouble working. I hear voices when I’m stressed. The voices make me crazy, like it’s me physically but someone else acts out. I hear voices of faith. I listen real hard. It’s beautiful at times but the average person thinks I'm crazy. I've been with mental health since the year 2000. They say I'm schizophrenic. I take Zoloft. They had me on Haldol and then switched me to Abilify. When I was in a coma I was in a place of peace detached from anything earthly and it was the most beautiful peace that cannot be described here on earth. Since my accident my life is very difficult. I've changed personality wise. I had a frontal lobe injury. I'm trying to get disability benefits. I can't hold a job. I've been denied once but I've just submitted another application. It’s not normal in the eyes of most people. I consider it a blessing because our creator showed me a piece of heaven so I came back with that peace!

Five-year-old girl has ski accident and almost dies of allergic reaction in hospital
The year was 1986 - I had just gotten permission to take one last run down the ski hill. A 5-year-old on a mission to follow a "hidden trail" through the woods. We placed skittles down so we could take the same track. It was FUN!! Until I lost control & hugged a tree dead center. It knocked me unconscious.

Positioned at the opening of a tunnel I could see in the distance my parents slowly advancing toward me. The tunnel appeared no more than about eight feet in diameter. Light was glowing from behind them and around them. I watched with curiosity and soon realized they were coming for me. I sensed others behind them.

I woke up in a hotel room. I traveled for a living so I reached for my cell phone on the nightstand on my left, like always. I needed to know if it was midnight or almost time to get up. I was with my boyfriend, Joel; I could tell from the snoring. We were on vacation.
I wriggled to sit up but something didn’t work. My thrashing woke Joel who turned on the light just as I fell out of bed. He came around to see if I was ok and quickly saw I was not right. He said “smile.” I did and he said, “I think you had a stroke.”
