the last time i wrote here i said iwas dropping my meds, well it did't fast enough. on the 26th my wife tried waking me and could't. then i stopped breathing. when they got me to the trauma unit they told my wife they didn't know if i would make it. i ended up on life support and in a coma for three days. what a trip. i just got out yesterday. very thankfull to be alive. many doctors are in the process of being fired. but it's nice to be able to come back here with you all.

OMG Jim thats terrible, I was only thinking about you this morning actually, in that I hadn't seen you in a while. I was going to give you until tomorrow to post and then I was going to phone you. Good grief, I have cold shivers going down my spine. I'm so glad you are okay ((HUG)).
How are you? Are you up to talking on the phone yet? I don't want to wear you out
lots and lots and lots of love

Glad you're okay Jim,
I've been wanting to just be put in a self induced coma, but not under the dangerous situation you were in!
Wonder if this can be done safely? Be careful Jim and here's to better health!

Yikes, Glad to hear you're OK. In the future, don't take such drastic measures to get some rest.
Can we take from this experience that CH can even wake us from coma?
Take care of yourself

Thank God you are still here. You would have been deeply missed. That is just a terrible experience. I research everything my dr recomends now. Ever since the one dr overdosed me on a narcotic and sent me home just long enough so I quit breathing and almost nearly died. 15 more min. is all I had according to the EMT and my husband was down stairs and it was just a miricle he happened to see me.

Wish I could answer that question, but right now ... my alternative is it'd help more than my other options that run through my head (and body). Don't want to take over a very serious thread by one of our family, so I'll back off these ideas for now.
Right now, we should leave this thread open to to Jim and what he and his wife have just been through.
Prayers for you and family Jim!
God Bless,
Dave
(But a PS: Maybe in mail, PM , etc ... you could clue me in about possible avenues of self induced coma's? You may not understand how serious I am. Shoot, I even asked the other night if there was a possiblity of getting a hold of Cloroform (sp?) and have the ability to knock myself out before I do something drastrict. But again, this belongs in another thread ... this one is about Jim and am so glad he pulled through some very threatening times.) Take care Jim 
Thanks,
Dave

Oh my goodness, Jim! Thank heaven you're allright. Those near death experiences can be life changing, once you get over the initial shock. Try to find the good that can come out of it. I'm sending tons of PF and wellness vibes and prayers. Glad things turned out OK.
hugs, nani
