Vallia Y NDE

Experience Description

I was talking to my sister in Montana and we were talking about the anthrax letters that had just been sent in the states. All of a sudden my whole body started getting rushes under the skin and then erupting through the skin (like bee stings), hundreds of stings going on at the same time. When they felt like they came through the skin, it would explode and become terribly itchy. I hung up the phone walked to the wall unit in my family room four feet away. Took an antihistamine, felt horribly hot and nauseas. I peeled off my sweater and went to the bath because I felt like I was going to throw up. The next thing I remember is lying on the tiles in the hall by the bath and thinking how nice and cold they were. My son came down the stairs with his friend and saw me lying on the floor. He called, 'Mom, mom,' but I can't answer or move (luckily I had a sports bra on as I had taken off my sweater). He called my other son who came up. They said, 'She doesn't look very good, she's all red and blotchy.' Meanwhile I'm lying there thinking, no kidding, I can't move, say a word. They decided to pick me up and take me to the hospital, five minutes away.

I heard the doctor screaming I had no blood pressure - I still can't move, blink an eye but I was aware of everything - saw everything even though my eyes were closed. I left the hospital and was floating in this black void. There were no lights, sound or people. I wasn't scared. I had an inner peace I've never felt before or since I came back, NO PAIN and I had pain when I came out of the coma. I had a bowel movement, when I don't know, I never felt a thing it took about two hours to come around out of the coma. When I was in this place, I always thought I would be a fighter and do anything to live, but I didn't worry about my family. I saw their lives and just knew there were going to be up's and downs but that was okay, it was their life and they were meant to go through it - their destiny. I never wanted to leave this place. (Afterwards I look back and think why no lights? This is the scariest, because I've never heard of a 'NDE' which is in a void and black.)

My husband got to the hospital about two hours later he's talking to me and I'm thinking go away, cause he was calling me back and I didn't want to leave this peace. We have been married for twenty-five years and the first thing I could say to him was go home - go home, cause I felt if he left I could stay there longer. Can you imagine if I had died that was my last words to him. 'Go home!'

Anyway when I came back I was in horrible pain, I had fallen against the stair banister and hit my eye, which became a huge black eye. My breast hit the downstairs banister and I feel on both my knees and they were in pain for six months.
