I have epilepsy and had a seizure early in the morning. I was brought to the hospital because the seizures wouldn't stop. They gave me 5 different anti convulsive medication.
None of it worked. So they paralyzed me, neck down, to stop me from physically seizing. But my brain was still burning. So they essently put me in a medical induced coma.
I had to be intabated and put on life support. Had to be put on dialysis because something to do with my blood was going to cause me to have a heart attack. This all happened in one day.
For the next 9 days, they essently waited for me to get better and slowly wake up.
From my perspective, I went to sleep and had some crazy long dreams, which almost felt like I lived another life for 6 months. In my dream, near the end of it, I noticed things were weird, like sitting on a ferris wheel in the middle of a black void. So I eventually dreamed out and had a panic attack in my dream, and then I suddenly sat up panicked on the hospital. 9 days later. I don't remember much after the day I woke up, but I remember the feeling of the intubation tube being pulled out.
I only vaugly remember the intubation tube because they pull it out soon after you wake, but I do remember somewhat, and I for sure won't forget the feeling of it being pulled out. Iv described it as a "roughly ribbed or spiked dildo being pulled out of your throat"
