Shannon L Possible NDE

Experience Description

My first experience was when I tripped over a box, and my legs going in different directions. I was by myself, so I was screaming at the top my lungs. I don’t know for how long, but my husband came home. He called 911 because my entire right side had a bone sticking out of it. It took the emergency medical technician (EMT) a good while to get me calm and into the ambulance.

The next thing I know, I am at the hospital. The EMT driver has already gotten me out of the ambulance and was pulling the stretcher inside the hospital. I was flying on top of my body and felt no pain until I got back into my body.

They operated on me next. I was released two days later on a Sunday. The following Tuesday night, my husband said I sat up in our bed a rubbed his arm as I fell out of bed. I woke up in the emergency room, saying that I did not know what was going on. I felt like it was dark with sparks of light all around me. I felt as if I was trapped and trying to fight my way out. I told myself that this is not right. I made my choice and finally came back to consciousness. I begged my husband to get me out of the hospital becasue I felt as if evil surrounded me. The doctors told me that I had a stroke.
