That does not sound good. I met a man once who was struck by lightening and didn't die but then he was almost killed kicking this piece of machinery out at the copper mine at the SXEW plant. He lost his leg but he lived.Yea, it was kinda freaky. I came back to the car while it was still daylight, but then my dad was still in the mtns lost and he called me asking for directions. Unfortunately, I shun signs and I kinda find my way around by remembering little things on the path. So I asked strangers and they gave the wrong directions for him. Then his phone died and I only had one bar left and the last call he told me to get ready to spend the night there. I ended up calling my hiking-enthusiast uncle, my mom, the cops....but my dad came to the parking lot (after I had been wearing shorts and a thin jacket and it had hailed and rained and it was night in the wilderness,
and I had stood around for a few hours almost getting hypothermia) and a lady who lived in the mtns (and was insanely rich + really nice) drove him to the hidden parking there...Wow. What a night, what a fright.
That would be somewhat.. traumatic. I hope you will not have to add another personal experience to that collection.
Well, I've already:
*Fallen off a 20-foot cliff
*Almost fallen off a 100-foot cliff
*Been stuck in a riptide
*Had a seizure
*Almost drowned
*Almost been shot
*Been 1 foot away from a car going 60 mph about to run my over
*Almost run over while running and biking
*Crashed into a pole on my bike going 20 mph
*Gone to the hospital for almost choking when I was little
So figures I have another near-death experience to add to my little collection.
But I'm serious, if I get enough of these, I really might write a book.
They are each traumatic in their own way...but teaching me as well.
The ability to recover from so many life-threatening events is unimaginable. I know I wouldn't be exactly casual about the events.

Meh, I try not to be casual about it, but that's how it sounds.
I really am grateful to be alive and I KNOW there is a reason I am around after all these things.
It just shocks even me, who went through all these things, that they really happened.
And each one had a different reaction immediately.
Like, when I was almost shot...I kept my cool when I was biking home (to be safe if they heard me) and then I got home and started screaming, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
I was calm after I fell of the cliff mostly because I didn't break anything...I just had a scar on my face (I have no idea how
) and I wanted to keep climbing actually.
But after each one, I have prayed and thanked my Heavenly Father for keeping me around.
THERE IS A REASON I AM ALIVE....that's why I am so calm.
I am actually a dare-devil ( I need to stop that) but it's part of my personality.
But make no mistake....I have felt afraid from these things...but I've grown.
Now I look back on them and realize, yea...they were freaky as heck....but they were God's reminders that I needed to be careful and that I am supposed to be here.

If only one could see one's entire life's summary. Then, one would know for what purpose or plan certain things happen...

Yeah, but then it'd be too easy. I do have a purpose and direction for life though. Even if it isn't outlined, I get the main idea.

So true. I remember someone saying 'Guess what so and so said about you?'
I said,'I don't want to hear it, if they have a problem they can tell me directly.'
He was flabbergasted.
I also don't spread the poison. Sometimes people say things and they're just blowing off steam. Passing it along just blows it out of proportion.

Yes - but it still wounds to the heart when people choose to believe it.
