Appendectomy gone wrong. I got an ecoli infection from a routine surgery to remove my appendix. Hooray for super antibiotics. They said if that had happened 20 years ago I would have died.

I almost choked to death on a plum stone. Im not joking i was at home and no one was in, and i was eating a plum and then somehow i accidentally swallowed it. It was logded in my throat so basically i had to try a cough really hard and eventually it came out.

lame i know -_- but you gotta watch out for them plum stones....

no one knows. Coudl have been nicked intestine or just something from the hopsital. They had to open the wound and let it heal from the inside so the infection coudl drain. i have a pretty gnarly scar on my stomach from it. :lol: I was laid up at home for 6 weeks while the gaping hole healed from the inside out.

Hell Yes. I couldn't walk or get out fo bed on my own for a few weeks. I was in pretty good shape before the surgery and not being able to do anything for a few weeks makes you appreciate the smallest things.

Yea I had my left subclavian artery accidentally sliced open while having a biopsy done and I lost 75% of my total blood volume on the table before they got it under control and gave me transfusions. I couldn't even lift my arm off the bed in the ICU after I woke up, and spent a week in the hospital mostly asleep as I remember. It sucked.

I've never been in serious threat of my life because of a sickness or so...but one day when I was driving through the fields on my bike to go play soccer with my bro at this soccer field which is like in the middle of nowhere, I almost got hit by a car that was doing like 30-40. The thing is the corn fields were toohigh to see over and too high to look through...I didn't see that there was a street at the end and that the path I was driving on was ending...when I drove onto the street I look to my left and see a car thats like 4 or5 meters away...instead of stopping I kept driving and drove right into a ditch...hadn't I done that, the car would have hit me. That was a close one :D...everytime I go by there now, I always stop to look.

Won't mention the things outside but last year I was going to swallow this aspirine abd then suddenly it went to my throat and I choked for about half a minute....at that time I was trying to think about the first aid things they've taught us but didn't use any.Mom was watching me shocked but the I coughed it out.I thought it was the end but it wasn't....so then I laughed.It was an interesting moment of my life.

When i was 3-4 years old i almost choked to death after eating some raisins.

When i was 10ish i was in a large pool. I was standing at the border of the deep end, and i slipped .I ended up on the bottom.

I barely managed to get up in time.

I almost died when I was being born. The umbilical cord was choking me.

And I almost drowned when I was 3.

I've come close to having what would've been fatal accidents a few times, quite a few times, most of them involving automobiles. I've never really been 'dying' from an injury or anything though.

I was hit by a car once but came even closer when I was swimming one day. I was swimming under these rocks in the water and went the wrong way. The current was too fast to go backwards and I could not fit through the tunnels. Some how I push a rock out and squeezed through. I had panickedabout 12 times.

When I was a baby I was in one of those rings that keeps you afloat in a swimming pool. My parents weren't watching and the ring flipped over so now I was upside down in the swimming pool with my legs sticking up in the air and my head underwater. Thankfully my older brother noticed and got my parents. If he didn't see me, I would have drowned.

Got very drunk one night, fell asleep and almost choked. My mum was off sick (she was on nights) and woke me up when she heard I was choking. I ended up with a gnarly hangover the next day and vomit induced bronchitis for a good three weeks.
