Herman K Probable NDE

Experience Description

After the first surgery, my soul was leaving the body and I could see the stars. A manifestation in human form came and pointed me back earth. My soul returned to my body.

My wife said that's when I probably began to get better. They replaced my aorta and put in a new heart valve. I woke up about a week later and slowly began to recover. I still had physical issues afterwards.

So, they did a second surgery and found many blood clots under my heart. I had trouble in recovery.

I felt my soul leaving my body again. I could hear my wife crying in the background.

I woke up later and was still in recovery. I was in the hospital from April 19th until the end of June. As time goes by, things begin to get hazy. I'm a believer in God now and all of his disciples. I believe I am a better person as well. After 4 years of disability, I am back to work now full-time. I continue to get new medical conditions to worry about, but try to keep life as normal as possible. God bless you all.
