My story may be somewhat different than most; you may see why later. I have a condition called Sleep Apnea. To make a long story short, I toss and turn at night causing my CPAP mask to leak, causing my obstruction to cut off the air to my lungs during sleep, causing me to suffocate in my sleep. This is my theory anyway of what caused my NDE.
The memory of what happened when I was 8 years old was suppressed and briefly revealed at 22 years old and revealed completely in 2010 at 43 years old. I will try to explain the best I can.
I had an experience at 8 or 9 years old where I was attacked by a family member who tried to drown me in the Russian River in Healdsburg, California.
On February 2, 2023, I had gastric bypass surgery. Forty-eight hours later, I was suffering from complications and was in incredible pain. I was rushed into surgery for a bowel obstruction in two places in my small intestine. Unbeknownst to me, my organs started failing and I was placed in a medically induced coma and placed on a ventilator.
In December 1998, I was in Sydney Australia for my junior lawyer apprenticeship on my path to becoming a German attorney. I was wanting to travel to a family friend by train and on the way to the train station, as a pedestrian, I was hit by a drunk driver who hit me while I was standing on the sidewalk waiting for the traffic light to turn green. (I have no recollection about this; this is from the witness statements.).
I got hit by a car on Valentine's Day 2017 in the late afternoon before sunset, in Providence, RI. I was crossing the street but due to snow piled up at the crosswalks, I did not cross in the crosswalk.
