It is hard for me to realize what so many of you have been through at such young ages to boot.. some of these stories are in the nightmare catagory...the closest near death experience i have had is when i went into hospital for surgery of my knee, it was injured and i was bone on bone in pain.. but i had absolutely no fear as they rolled me into surgery.. i thought this is just a knee and it will be so good to be out of the extreme pain i felt day after day.. well i woke up in intensive care hooked to all these machines.. but the worst part is now after surgery i was in agony, they were afraid to give to much sedation because i had suffered an allergic reaction to being under during operation or i was having heart problems.. so for three days while i was in ICU i suffered greatly.. how close to death i do not know,, but certainly did not think recovery was an option because the pain was so severe..but when i compare this to some of the events you went through ..wow! yes we have to count our blessings!

pissed my dad off once.
bare in my mind that my dad is a pretty big guy.

well anyways i was going to get swats and i had my hands on the chair just waiting to get them first one landed square on my arse. i said ow in a mono tone voice then the next one was higher. too high. he got my tail bone and then proceeded to scrape up my back.
i jumped up and puched him in the back and he pushed me down and i landed on my ass right on my now fractured tail bone.

we didnt think anything about it a the time. but then i got constipated.
i started taking laxatives but i couldnt get it out.
finally after about 2 weeks my dad took me to the doctor and i got a blood test. My blood toxicity level was throught the roof.

Oh by the way i deserved the swats. My dad is not that abusive lol

?????....?????.....Poor child thats what I say Broken tailbone? laxitives.....Things have gone a lil far and maybe time to seek some help. That is the scariest household situation I have ever heard of....and I'm from the hood! well.....not hood hood just lived next to nicer houses in the suburbs but it sounds better to just say hood. lol! It's not that I care too much just I have read your posts and i think hmmmmmm something has got to be wrong with this child and low and behold^^^^^^^^^^

At age 9, electricuted myself to near death from playing with powerlines at a building top.

In the same year, jumped from a high place and landed head on onto a concrete, fracturing skull.

wow i never had anything close to that happen and i do flips and stuff on a wakeboard

When I wakeboard and wipe out Im always aware of the board and how fast it could literally ram into my head...

I also once had a driver wrap the rope around my finger while wakeboarding and almost rip my finger off.

I was in a car accident my senior year in high school. I was picking my sister up from a friends house. On the way home a guy I went to school with ran a red light doing 50+ in a pick-up and t-boned me in the passenger side of my '88 VW jetta. We got flown to a medical center by helicopter where I was pronounced dead on 2 occasions during the flight. But as you can see, I'm here typing today. I wish I could say the same for my sister. God rest your soul lil' sis.

I quit reading after this... sorry.

i was shot at with a AK47 and then had the AK and a 9mm against my head during an armed robbery at our house a few years ago. the bullets missed my father and i but went into our pick up and another round of bullets killed our dog.

when i was 17 a frind was driving his car, i was a passenger and we hit a tree on my door doing 110kph, nearly lost my index and middle finger. had plastic surgery and all works good now.

when i was 6 i was standing at a red light and a pick up tried to beat the red light and started rolling. i was in shock but some lovely old lady who watched it and took me home said it missed me by inches and i was covered in fuel from the the pick up going passed me. there were about 11 guys in the back and they were almost all lying dead around me. the story made the news that night but i went home straight home after it happen so never had my 15 seconds of glory. lol
