  • 3: I’ve been in 3 comas

    I said in the 1st “numbers” post, about me dying, my 1st coma was a ketoacidotic coma. This was explained, in detail, in the first “numbers” post.

    It talks what ketoacidotis is, what ketones are & how all this relates to diabetes.

    This dying, 1st coma happened in Sri Lanka, in Colombo. I was comatose for a while when I was taken to a hospital there.

    The 2nd was when I had my TBI. I don’t know a lot of details for this other than; it was in Vietnam, I was holidaying there with a boyfriend & I got the brain injury front a motorcycle accident, where i crashed & I fell off the motorcycle. I’ve been to recovery mode since.

    The 3rd was, again, relatively recent. I had an epileptic fit which was ambulate serious. This coma was medically induce.

    Kind of damaged goods, am I. But so much potential, if I may say so myself.

  • 1. I died 1ce

    So even though no one has shown an interest in my “numbers” post, I’m still going to expand, because it’s a good story & good information. Most of these stories are 2nd hand but all actually happened.

    The 1st one goes like this…. I was 7 years old & was on holiday, feeling ill, getting worse & worse though. I got so unwell I decided & eventually went into a ketoacidotic coma

    1 of the 3 comas… the ketoacidots remind for too long, my blood PH went so low I technically died. But was somehow revived, luckily (I don’t know how). A bit like Jesus…(sorry to all Christians).

    (This is when your blood sugar goes so high, your body produces keystones, which are a toxic acid – so my blood was effectively an acid. This is why it’s called ketoacicis)
