Nearish death choices. Yep. Choices

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

When you lose gallons ( yeah, exaggerating) of blood and have seizures under anesthesia you have visions, hallucinations or opiate dreams, whichever.
Wake up to very low glucose (70, not exaggerating ) and are nearly comotose. You get asked questions.
Really.

Instead of just floating off to the “place”…OH no!! You have to make choices.
Peaceful death? Nope.

I can’t catch a break.

A simple “pull the dang plug” wouldn’t work. Arguing with faceless, non-voices don’t cut it.
They insisted. Pushy, they are.

As I was promised I would live, I decided, ok I guess I will.

It didn’t seem like the correct way to do it. I swear, in my addled state it’s all I had.
I couldn’t think of one important thing left in my life that I could actually do to improve any thing. Couldn’t pull up one clarifying thought.

Still, hear I am.

I have been worried all day!
There you are!:heart::yellow_heart::blue_heart:

3

I’m glad you’re here Beck, it wouldn’t be the same without you!

4

Why thanks.:blush:

5

So glad that everything turned out all right! (It did, right?)

Are you now home with Bayliss, Jojo, and the rest of the menagerie?

6

It seems I will live.

Pets are in various stages of happy-hissy.

7

I am in favor of this.

8

Seconded, and thirded by Bayliss!

Fourth’d🌮

Glad to have you back. Hope you’re feeling better. Sounds like you could use some better.

Were the questions asked by the medical folks, or by disembodied voices in the tunnel of light? Either one would be annoying. I’m just curious.

Well, unknown really. Ivy says they were slapping my feet and poking my sternum in recovery. Not sure what happened in the inner sanctum of the OR.

Doc was a bit sheepish when I saw him. I left him to his own thoughts on it, since I was awake and alive.

12

I guess really I’m “Here”

Not heard. Or maybe I was “heard”
But “hear” I’m not.
I think.

(Typo in my OP)

13

Hear here!

14

Endeavour to Persevere.

15

Ordinarily they charge extra for that!

16

That I believe.

17

I reckon.
:upside_down_face:

I have no doubt, you have more stories to tell. What would we do with out Bayliss, Bigfoot, Clarence and all the others. Those stories delight all of your followers here on the Dope, and we look forward to many, many more.

19

And for that I truly give thanks!! You’re my fav, and maybe I’m being selfish because I hate loss, but I want you to stay right here with us! :heart:

Saw the surgeon for recheck today.

I was able to ask him what happened in the OR.

Quote “you scared the crap outta me”

He says I’m gonna be ok for awhile. I’m wont to believe it, fully.

Still, I carry on.
