Experience Description I went to a scheduled an appointment for a sleep study. During the appointment. I was sick, so the technician dismissed me. My girlfriend, at the time, picked me up and I told her to get me to the nearest hospital because I'm having a stroke. We arrived at the emergency room. While filling out paperwork, I went unconscious and fell to the floor. I was in a coma for 101 days and my medical record says that I coded twice. During one of the code events, I could see the medical team working and trying to revive me. I remember walking through walls and feeling like I was going to suffocate. I heard the doctors tell my family member to take me off life support. Before I suddenly woke up in my body, something told me, 'You are OK now.' The nurse dropped her cellphone as I tried to get out of the hospital bed. I did have left-side paralysis initially. But after months of intense physical therapy, I was able to walk, talk, and function normally. My purpose to be here is to teach and help others. I created a non-profit as part of my soul purpose.
