the things they did to you 2005started 10/13/98, converted to prose 09/28/05
When you hear that you were so close to death (because they have to tell you, you dont know your own life in moments like that and you have to rely only on what other people tell you), you dont think about it, but you feel fine, you couldnt have been that bad. But you were on a respirator to breathe for you while the doctors just hoped and waited for you to start breathing again. And you couldnt eat, you were unconscious for days, what am I saying, over a week or a week and a half, so they gave you food through a tube that went straight to your stomach. Youve got the scar on your stomach to prove it, where the tube came out of your body from. There is a piece of metal in your body that the doctors put in there in case you had blood clots that tried to move through your arteries to your heart or lungs or brain. That had a brain activity/pressure circulation detector surgically attached to your head, they call is an intercranial pressure monitor, so they could measure if there was too much pressure on your brain.
