I’ve survived 6 years with a disease the average life expectancy is less than 6 months.

Well, i technically shouldn't be here

My heart stopped and i was revived

Yup. I always thought I'd be dead by 35. Now I'm 37 and have no idea what to do with my life.

Yep. I never expected to be in my 60s with grandkids etc

I'm glad my fairly pathetic suicide attempts and my alcohol madness didn't kill me.

I was punched in head by an adult man when I was 5 and went into a instant grand mal seizure. That punch in head gave me a seizure disorder for the rest of my life

I almost drowned at 7, I jump off a cliff because I seen my moms friend do it and swim and I thought I could do it

I was hit by car while I was sidewalk when I 10. Some drunk lost control of their car was driving on the sidewalk. I walked away unharmed

In the early 90s I was in demolishing Derby. My legs got pinned inside and while I was trying to free them. A big station wagon hit the side of my car and rolled my car and their car went on top of mine. I was trapped and I could see a fire coming from the station wagon.

In March of 2022 my seizures came back strong that my heart stopped and spent some serious time in hospital.

Something wants to punish me, or just wants me dead. I'm like living real life movie of Final Destination

Oh I always figured I’d be dead by twenty. I barely made it there as it is so Im amazed I’ve survived this long.

Both myself and cancer have tried to get me. I must be part cat because I'm easily on my fourth or fifth life.

No, I am going to live to be 140, I'm in the youth of my life, I'm a youngster at the age of 52

Yes, by a lot.

I'm in the window in about 3 yrs for men on my Dad's side .. but I haven't smoked 2 packs of unfiltered Camels a day for 45 yrs like they did .. I might get some more time for that. Dad is in his early 80s.

Yes I have. I figured my heart would have given out on me by now

Why do you say that? 😕

My Dad made it to 98.5 ... no way I'm making it that long....

Don't say that. Why did you say that?

Last November I had a very bad case of pneumonia and a dka incident as well as sepsis, one night my sugar went so low I came close to dying.
I was in the hospital for 14 miserable days.
Less than a year later my husband died and I wished that I would have died with him when it happened.
But, my grandkids and children still need me, I guess.

Yep! It blows my mind I've lasted 44 years 🤯

41 years and counting...

Longer than I wanted to

In a word, yes.

My time card was almost punched in 2008, but the doctors saved me. So now I don’t know.

No, but I have been lucky. Never smoking, and having drunk alcohol only moderately for many years now, helps, but I have outlived some friends lost to illnesses.

You just don’t know.

Three of my friends died at Uni.

My school friends started passing away at fifty. That was a shock.

Not sure what I expected but, looking back, I think I am fortunate to be here. Many friends didn't make it.

Unfortunately

Don't say such things

Yes I am!

Definitely

yeah

Yes

Yeah 😅

I have faced death multiple times, including last late may after a bad intestinal bleed from anticoagulants having my blood thinner than water and emergency colorectal cancer surgery.
