Near Death ExperiencesLast time I crashed my bike, as I flew through the air towards the car in front of me not much went through my head apart from "You idiot". No tunnels, no lights to stay away from, no smiling family members beckoning to me.
Surely you've had a better near-death experience?

Don't have glass doors in your house....At the tender age of fifteen I was unfortunate enough to have the kitchen door shut in my face as I was walking through the doorway. Instinctivley trying to protect my mush I stook the palm of my hand out to stop the door only to have my hand go through the glass and a huge piece of glass rip through my wrist.
The glass cut a massive whole in my arm and gave me the unenvieable opportunity to see inside my wrist. The resulting carnage resulted in a severed: major artery, 9 tendons and 1 and a half nerves.
When your artery is cut you've got a minute before you pump most of your blood out of your body. Luckily the ambulence station is at the corner of our road and my lovely little brother phoned them while I stood with my arm raised, face flushing, blacking out while watching the horror of arterial blood pouring all over the floor!
After major surgery and physio I can kind off use my hand again (bout 70% of what it used to be)! luckily it is my right hand and I'm right handed so I sat my gcse's, three months later, in a room with a teacher telling them my answers cos I couldn't write. Think that sounds good? Well then try and picture the chemistry teachers face as you don't know the answer to the question so you make something up just to have the section filled!!! Less fun when they look at you like your a moron!!!
Never mind eh!!!
