Near Death Experience

I nearly got hit last week at uni when some loser didn't stop at a zebra crossing

I once heavily put my foot down leaving a roundabout, hit a pot hole and completely lost control into rush hour oncoming traffic. I somehow (legit have no idea how) managed to control it before smashing a small lorry thing head on

colin mcrae m9

closest i've been to death is when i was stuck in a tide (and im a good swimmer) in the sea

think closest I've came to death this year is almost hitting a roundabout curb at 110mph

i wasnt readyy
also the road was closed for a track so dw I was only killing myself

when i ran away from my hotel room on holiday cause i desperately wanted to go in the pool only to slip and fall in the baby pool and nearly drown to death until a kind woman saved me and took me back to my room X

if ur reading this thank you

Twice - not going into details, but terrorism was to blame for one of them.

No personal injury, thank God (well, bar a couple of cuts from people rushing); although others were injured and a couple of people died.

I was basically running late, so wasn't in the exact position I should have been in at the time.

Ye. Many times tbh.

The most major one would be when I was in the hospital for a month. I was transferred to 3 hospitals during that time period because no one knew what was wrong with me.

I may get a little bit into medical talk here so watch out!

So basically, it started off as like a pneumonia-type ilness and transferred into like the stomach flu. During that period of time, I would go through BP drops of 60/50 and crash while my heart was all over the place. My temperature would fluctuate to 39.4C every 3 hours or so. No one knew what was wrong. They still to this day never figured it out. It got so bad that they transfered me via ambulance to one of the best children's hospitals in the state where my oxygen levels dropped. I wasn't stable enough to go to the ICU, so basically, the ICU had to come down to me.

Throughout the month, it would affect a different organ every day. Whether it was my kidneys, liver, lungs, it didn't matter. That damn thing was out to get me! Hah! They tried to treat whatever they thought I had with steroids. Well. That.. Yeah.. That didn't work out so well. That was the moment when we realized I couldn't have steroids haha! My blood sugar popped right on up to 400-500 i don't remember but it was so bad almost went into diabetic coma. I was surrounded by doctors and nurses in one of the best hospitals in the country and they still don't know what was wrong. They think it was encephalitis, but they never figured it out..

Just a few weeks ago (those of you who have me on snapchat probably remember this haha!) I found the lab reports from the hospital during htis time. My ESR was elevated and My CRP was in the mid 200's. It's suppsoed to be less than like.. 5 i think... That usually indicates a severe bacterial infection such as sepsis.

Surprisingly, my kidneys were never severely affected, but I do have permanent pancreatic damage. Probably either from the infection or from when my blood sugar spiked so much it damaged.
