I got carjacked at gunpoint once and when I jumped out and took the keys with me the guy chased me for several blocks on foot. That was sorta scary, and I smoke far too much to be running like that.

About 16 months ago I had a heart attack and while recovering my catheter blocked and I became septic, and my liver, kidneys, heart and respiratory system shut down and I had to be revived with a defibrillator, but was comatose for nearly two months.

That's it, I guess. Nothing big or as scary as some of y'alls stories.

How old were you when you had a heart attack?

35, terrible genetics.

How do you almost drown in a pool as an adult? Worse case scenario couldn't you just push off the bottom towards the shallows?

I guess you'd be panicking but shouldn't you go in with a game plan if you don't know how to swim??

It can happen even if you're not an idiot who doesn't swim well but decides to try anyway.

I went to Cancun a few years back and I had taken a few Xanax with me to help me sleep on the plane, but ended up just getting drunk and not needing them. I decided to take them in my hotel room and go relax on a raft in the pool, and almost immediately fell asleep. When I woke up a few hours later, there was a crazy storm and the pool was empty and my raft had gotten stuck in the filtration thing at one end and I was underwater choking.

Not that it wasn't stupid to take some Xanax while still buzzed and hit the pool, but it can happen even to excellent swimmers.
