Shandeen D NDE

Experience Description

I had a prescheduled surgery for November 10, 2022. There were no family or friends with me. My mom dropped me off and went home to stay with my baby. I was sitting on the hospital bed when a nurse came in and told me to change and put on the hospital gown. She came back in the room and gave me an IV. Then another nurse came in and told me she will be giving me the anesthesia into my IV. She told me I would fall asleep when I get to the surgery room. However, I was told I fell asleep before then.

I remember waking up in the surgery room looking at myself on the surgery table. I wasn't hovering over my body. I was in the corner of the surgery room standing with a very bright light having a conversation. I remember hearing the thought of the doctor and him being extremely worried that something had gone terribly wrong. There were nurses in the surgery room. I was standing next to the bright light laughing and having a conversation telepathically about how the doctor and nurses thought I was dead. I guess because I had stopped breathing from sleep apnea. All I know is that nurses and the doctor was surrounding my body. I don't know for exactly how long I stopped breathing but it felt like I was on the other side for months. The light was telling me that there are a lot of people going through an awakening. The light then told me it was time for me to return.

All I remember is a nurse calling my name. She repeated my name maybe 10 times. I'm not sure. I remember waking up and her being a bit scared asking me if I have sleep apnea. She was telling me that I needed to get checked out for sleep apnea. I wasn't aware that I had sleep apnea until that same day. My chest was hurting like someone had performed CPR on me. I was later told that I had been in surgery longer than I was supposed to and that my mom felt that something was wrong.
