a near death experience………….?
admin posted in Uncategorized on September 13th, 2009
The other day I went to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned. Being someone not comfortable with tools and hands in my mouth the I request to be given a little nitrous oxide to help me relax.
I have been doing this for a couple years without any adverse reactions or events. But this time something different happened. I was only in the chair for 10 minutes breathing nitrous. But all of a sudden I was going way deeper than I have ever experienced.
I couldn’t open my eyes and normally even with my eyes closed I can see the light through my eye lids. But this time everything was completely black….no light at all.
I think I motioned to the hygenist to turn the nitrous down as I knew I was going to deep.
While everything was black I think I was still conscience but I don’t know for sure. But I could hear the hygenist calling my name but it seemed her voice was miles away…..then a thought came over me….I’m dead!
I started thinking I would hear paramedics any minute trying to revive me. I think then she noticed I was in trouble and switched the nitrous off and I was getting pure oxygen……
I believe I stopped breathing for a short time as all of a sudden I gasped for air and remember breathing as if I had just run a couple miles. When I was finally able to open my eyes then hygenist was looking at me toatlly freaked out…
she said she thought she had lost me, the doctor came in and they sat me up but kept me on oxygen for about 30 minutes until I recovered.
I don’t really know what happened. I think I stopped breathing for a short time and was probably out also.
But the weird thing is that was Wednseday and today is Sunday. Ever since then I have felt the most incredible calm over me. Everything seems smooth and stress seems to be not a part of me anymore……even thinking of death doesn’t seem scarry…
I can’t explain what happened a couple days ago but it was something profound…..if this is what people experience when they have a near death event then I can really understand why it affects some so much.
