At what point did you think you were going to die but obviously didn't?

Wow, you have had quite the rocky life. ....your mother did not deserve you. @rckt148

@pennynoodles She made a good parent out of me
I just did the opposite of everything she did .
That beating was a week after my Grandma died ,she is the one who actually raised me ,did her best to teach me all she could ,she was slowly dying most of my life in pain ,so Mom did let me be with her a lot to help her .
But one week after she and her sister both died ,same night ,same hospital ,from totally different things ,1 hour apart (So I was numb ,I just lost my world )
She beats me to make me cry ,,she says I am holding it in and its going to make me sick .
And as she is beating me she says "Mom is gone now ,you are my son ,its high time you figure that out ,,Momma took my baby ,but now I am taking my boy back "
The next year I left home for good
I was married at 16 ,I was in the service by 17 and I only came back to help her and Dad ,,,,3 yrs when Dad was dying ,I took care of her after Dad died until she got his social security and then I went home ,8 months of that (But I had my own motor home I did not live with her ,even during the 3 years I was there for Dad I worked and had my motor home ,I refused to live in her home .
But the last 14 months of her life she needed closer care ,so we moved in the house ,,3 adults and a baby in one little room
As soon as she passed I called the mortgage company (she had put my Dads paid off estate $185.000.00 in debt ,not counting hospital bills )I told them I was leaving the home ,,I could have stayed there the rest of my life and only had to pay the tax's .
But I wanted everyone to know I was only there for my parents ,not anything the buzzards thought she had ,
I went back to my home ,,with peace of mind ,
In spite of how I was raised ,,,I did turn out to be a good son
My kids are forgivers too ,,they say after all I have been through and I forgive
they would feel petty to hold on to stupid stuff
So see ,,she made a good son and Dad out of me in spite of her
But I did love my Mom and Dad ,I miss them both
She had her demons ,,and I have had mine ,,,
She was just one of many tools satan has used to try and kill me or make me blame God ,,God has always had His hand on me ,,and now satan hates I'm not dead
Not only do I work hard to expose him ,,now my kids do too
I know who was trying to kill me ,I also know who would not allow it to happen

Whew, that is quite some story, thank you for sharing it with us. I also brought my children up in a completely different way to how I was brought up. Good can come from bad. @rckt148

@pennynoodles these days i'm pretty even, been sick for around 5 yrs and have chronic pain actually, but relatively well maintained i'm just in good spirits about it and don't let it get me down too often. my childhood and such, i found a way to get past all that. but do live with depression. it's a lifelong thing sadly, i have my moments. thank you kindly for asking

Well, well done you for pulling yourself through with a positive outlook. @DancingStarGoddess

@pennynoodles thank you!

@pennynoodles 😁

Did you see Heaven? 😇@SW-User

@SW-User i did the famous light.. have no clue if it was heaven

@SW-User 🤗

How traumatic for you. Have they stabilised your heart?@Mondayschild

@pennynoodles yes had heart surgery and I am fine now

Do you literally mean your senses; your smell, taste etc? Or do you mean you couldn't make sense of things?@ABCDEF7

I was having brain tumour at my brain stem that sometimes used to stop blood flow to my brain. But it is not what I mean. It is difficult for me to explain. I was able to see, smell, taste, etc. but the feeling was not lively. Even sometimes I used to nap, the feeling of which was totally different from sleep, it used to feel me that I was not there for some time.

I even had the out of the body experience during my first surgery, but that was a different story.

It's not as uncommon as you might think to experience that. Definitely not rigamortis though! @SW-User

Thank you ☺️🙏🏻 @pennynoodles

Haha I guess so! That’s a good way of looking at it, although going back through the list is still kind of depressing to think about.😅@pennynoodles

Each instance is another experience to make us what we are today. Some are good, some are bad but from each one, we learn something. @Bean17

Such is true!🤓@pennynoodles

How frightening for everyone involved. Glad you were okay. @ProdigalSummer

At least it wasn't MANFLU..... you know how bad that can get 😜@DollyLand

@Adamj I was messing with pennynoodles ,some of her replies do actually make me laugh out loud ..
as to you ,you have learned as I have i am sure
if it don't kill you it makes you tough

@rckt148 oh I'm sorry it pooped up on my feed. Thanks

@Adamj No problem ,it was part of your post ,,it was just to pennynoodles ,
but its all good
Hope life is better for you now
I went through a windshield and I was shot ,but not with a shot gun
and a few failed marriages ,no fun in any of those events ,but hey ,were alive to tell about it

A blessing that you both survived?@lacsar

It was meant to be. @lacsar

Perhaps there was. You must take the opportunity of life now with open arms. @Druid

it can feel like you're unable to breathe.....scary times.@TheSirfurryanimalWales

And your liver repaired itself? Apparently, they do @DuchessOfMapleSyrup

@pennynoodles no, but it has improved function. . i am seeing a doctor from my managed healthcare and being tested. i still take medication to help flush my liver. i shall see when all the test results are done.

Well good luck with them. @DuchessOfMapleSyrup

Are you in a better place now?@SandInMyShoes

@pennynoodles Yes I am thanks :)

That's good. @SandInMyShoes

Once when a car came round the bend going much to fast and narrowly avoided me. Just for that instance, I thought I was a goner. After giving birth to my daughter, I didn't realise that I was as unwell as I was with a kidney infection. They called my husband back to the hospital as they could not reduce my temperature and were pretty much worried that I would die. I know I felt very unwell but I didn't know I was going to die. @SW-User

@pennynoodles some people aren’t a liability behind the wheel, that’s for damn sure. So glad you are Ok now ‘Mamma’ 🤗

I teach children..... when I see the anger issues that some of the young people have, I often think to myself that I hope they learn to control it before they get behind a wheel. In the wrong hands, a car is a weapon. @SW-User

Then you have survived very well...@hunkalove

Pinch yourself.....if it hurts, then you're probably not. @TacoCat
