Probably the first serious post I've done. Last year I had acute appendicitis. Went to the doctor's with a pain that I'd had for a week but thought I'd pulled something throwing up for days. Rushed to hospital and emergency op. After the op was told I was lucky to be alive. Spent 8 days in hospital and another 3 weeks in bed. Depression hit the roof. I view life now very differently. I'm starting college in a week. I'm trying new things all the time now as before I'd have said no through anxiety. Life is worth living

Anaphalactic shocks, the worst one was when traveling - didn't have epipen w/me because it got taken at airport. They always check it out because it looks like massive needle on the scanner, security must have forgot to put it back or put it in wrong bag.. I didn't realise until in other country and sods law had a reallly bad reaction after a restaurant (must have been heavily cross contammed), had to try get to a hospital, it took ages, had to get a taxi as was fastest way to hospital, mega language barrier too, I legit accepted that I may die that day, could hardly walk up the stairs to even get in the the hospital, those legends saved my life.

Being passenger in car crash in my early 20s was pretty gnarly, could have been a lot worse, car was wrecked.

Born 4 months premature in incubator with all kinds of issues as a baby, not that I remember lol but apparently I was very lucky to make it.

Even historically, a Buzzbomb in ww2 hit next door factory to where grandad was which could have easily been the end of my family bloodline before I was even here.

I think we are all suuuper lucky to be here and that certain things like close calls etc deffo can change perspective and make us reevaluate how we treat our friends, family and selfs, life can be taken away so easily, it's pretty mad.

I'm way more careful these days.. especially with the allergy.

Sorry for the essay but yes OP I totally understand how you feel after going through that close call!

Give thanks for life

Glad you are better now OP.

Had too many close calls, had burst appendix, been stabbed, shot and recently a life changing bike crash, makes you suddenly think that life no matter how crap it gets is rather precious! As for the depression it gets harder to fight when ill, but you just grab those little rays of light and don't let go.

Exactly the same thing happened to me 40 years ago, straight from gp to hospital, surgeon said can't understand why you haven't got peritonitis, cane home three days later with a pipe hanging out of my stomach, went to work the next day ( own business) , then can honestly say never gave it a second thought. Life is to short to worry about how your living it.

It always amazes me how we all have the capacity to change our mindset and radically transform our lives but often takes events like this.

I also live each day likes it’s my last , it’s a great place to be.

Very lucky to be alive got diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Dec 2017 told I had months rather than years. Got put on trial drugs and am still here. I will still die as its a terminal illness, but done so much in the last 4 and a bit years. Lots of things I always wanted to do but never got round to etc. Knowing you are dying concentrates the mind wonderfully and you realise whats important to you and what isnt. But, hey am still here, still loving life. I might be working on it but I'm not dead yet, and I'm buggered if I'm going to go quietly into the night!

Taken into hospital last year, and they found a growth and all the signs of pancreatic cancer.

I was in for over a week of tests, with nothing coming back conclusive.

Then I started healing with no medication. Nothing was found and I'm totally clear and healthy again. Doctors wrote it off as an 'oddity'.

A few of months later my mum started showing the same symptoms, so we got her to hospital where she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and unfortunately passed away a week later, just before Christmas.

Long story short was rushed in hossy apparently infection markers crp normally around 20 mine were over 200.

The last time, my brother saved my life by getting the police to break into my flat, i was very close to death, spent a month in hospital in all, about a week and a half of which was in a coma in ICU, very touch and go. Was very upset about still being alive when i did regain conciousness, and stayed in a really bad place for over a year after. But i am now grateful for what my brother did. I was also very lucky to have recovered physically from this episode, the drs expected me to have long lasting disabilities. "

We’re so lucky to still have you.

I suffered respiratory arrest as a youngster due to an infection. Luckily I made it through. In my job I meet people who feel they have little to live for, but assure them them we all have a positive impact on others, even if it is difficult for us to recognise this. I have a condition which will eventually make self care impossible for me, so I count each day a blessing
