I've been out cold a few times.
I regularly pass out while getting blood drawn. |

If the glucose level takes a nosedive so do I sometimes. Only had to be professionally woken twice though. Did pass out in HS band class once. Kicked the instructor and smashed my head into a concrete block wall at the same time. Dropped after a "stress test" a few years back. Woke to I.V. and a room full of doctors & nurses. Scared the hell out of the old people waiting their turn when i was wheeled out thru the waiting room. lol |

Ummm, yeah. My last 'incident'. Managed to put my head through the back of an Explorer. Next thing I know, I'm on my back looking up at two LEO's and two EMT's.
Me: "hey, how's it going?"
Cop: "OK, how are YOU doing?"
Me: "Good - how long have I been here?"
Cop: "Oh, about 10 minutes" - "oh, and don't try to get up... we're taking you in to get looked at"
Me: 'Sounds good, where's my bike?'
No Helmet - - lump on my noggin, and a little rash on one knee. Not one of my better days, but it beats being below ground.

Once. in Jr. High I went up for a rebound playing basketball and got my legs cut out from under me. Came down on the back of my head, and woke up a few seconds later. No memory loss or anything. I probably should have been knocked out a few more times, but it seems I have a shock- absorbing skull. |

One time when i was really sick, I had parked out front of my moms house and i jumped out of my truck ran up the 65 stairs to the front door. And as i rounded the side of the house i got a huge head rush and blacked out falling onto the side of the house and the hit my head on the gas meter and i was out cold. I have no idea how long i was out. But i had scraped up my face and split my lip. |

Most every night. Never been knocked unconscious; apparently my small reptilian brain is resistant to it.

Me and a friend made ourselves pass out in elementary school - it's pretty easy to do. I think I was out for just a minute or two, but it felt like hours when I woke up.
Only been put under once for (minor) surgury, just felt groggy, my perception of time wasn't scewed any.
It has been prevented a number of times since - I was fairly ill a few months back and got blood drawn on top of it and the nurses did all they could to keep me awake. Same for a minor surgery a few years ago, started to go but thhose ammonia capsules work wonders.
I've had the wind knocked out of me, does that count as 'not breathing'? One time in particular I thought for sure I was going to die after launching my sled off a jump 15 ft in the air and landing straight on my back. |

I'll be unconscious tomorrow about 8:30 am!
You have to remember to wake up and say "Ouch!" and they give you more morphine! 
When I was probably 12-14 I was sleep walking, it was a summers night, bright moon light. I was up at the cottage and it was wall to wall people sleeping, in the family/play room, I figured it was too crowed for me so I would just walk next door over to Jim Carruthers and sleep there because he had plenty of room. I wove my way past all the sleeping bodies and I walked outside, the slam of the screen door woke me and I froze in my tracks and wondered "what the hell am I doing?" I turned around to go back inside and just about pulled my dad out the door as he was coming out to find out what the noise was, I just walked past him and said "Hi guy" and went back to bed. |

On my third jump in jump school I came out of the C130 in really bad position and nailed the side of the aircraft. I woke up a few seconds later with my feet in the risers, looking "up" at the ground. I untangled myself just in time to conduct a piss-poor PLF.
Another time at a gunnery at Fort Bliss, I popped out of a deep sleep, stood up too fast, and the blood rushed out of my head. I passed out and nailed my head against a three-drawer chest, splitting the skin right next to my eye. I woke up with my roommate screaming "help, help, somebody help!" and blood all over the floor. I got to ride a backboard in the back of a medevac bird, and seven stitches right next to my eye. |

First time I took two knees to the kidneys and went out a few minutes later, I was 10.
About two years later my best childhood friend put me on queer street in my front yard. The stars were pretty but boxing at night is dumb!
Then my best one. I was 18 and got a call from a buddy that he got his "motorcycle" running if I wanted to go over and ride. I had never rode anything so I figured what the hell.
I get there and it is not a motorcycle but a funny looking scooter, you might know it as a Honda Cub. I hopped on and took off across his yard. Now mind you we live in the country so his yard is about 3 acres. When I get to the other end of the yard his elderly aunt that lived in another house on the property lets her big ass German Shepard out and the bastard takes off after me. So now I am running full tilt (about 35) back across the property and the dog is coming at an angle so he is catching up. All I want to do is get back to my truck because this freaking dog is mean!
Next thing I know I wake up in the hospital. Apparently when the front tire hit the brick home my buddy lived in it acted like a catapult and slapped my head (no helmet) into the wall pretty hard. I actually chipped the brick on the house and all the pictures on the wall inside the house flew off across the room.
The outcome was a little brain damage, ripped the lining around my brain, cracked my frontal sinus cavity and forgot quite a bit about my past and never regained some of it. I also swore I would never ride any kind of motorcycle again .these days its ATGATT. |

anesthesia a few times, the new hypnotics really just erase the short term memory...so I dunno, I missed it.
A few seconds missing here & there in high energy impacts... but a lifetime of defying gravity will get you those...
Zoned a few times giving blood.... I'm a wimp with needles....  |

In my late 20's I was at a bar with with my second ex husband having a mug of beer eating a bowl of hot steamed shrimp and I started to gray out. I turned to my then hubby and said I needed fresh air and passed out! Woke up on the floor with a circle of faces looking down at me.
In my sleep, one time on vacation with my Mom down in Florida. We were staying at the holiday inn. It was a good party night with food and drink. We retired to our room for the night and sometime in the middle of the night I got up in my sleep and whacked my Mom in the head with spare pillow from my bed! My Mom was like "What the heck are you doing!" LOL |

I've heard about that, auto-erotic asphyxiation isn't it? |

Talk to Michael Hutchence about it! |

...and supposedly David Carradine.
That was a shame about Michael Hutchence too, I was always an INXS fan. They were my first concert, sometime in '87 or '88. |

Yeah. Australian and all.. I really liked them. I think I last saw them in '85 or '86 in the UK. |

We've had two deaths in our small town over the last few years due to either the choking game or auto-erotic asphyxiation. One young man was nineteen years old and one was sixteen. Tragic and heart breaking. Neither of those families have been close to the same since. |

Worst one that I can recall was in my dirt track race car. I was going for the lead when the lead car lost his fuel cell cap and was spewing 103 race gas in my face. It instantly melted my tear offs and distorted my face shield, where in my attempt to get past him using all of my intelligence(you know.....win at all costs), I lifted my face shield just enough to get my eyes to slam shut from the race gas that immediately got into them.
I slid the car sideways, nearly to a stop, in the middle of the front straight directly in front of a car that was full on the throttle. I got a tiny glimpse of his hood as he nailed my drivers door. I will never forget the sweet sound of that engine being wide open when he hit me at about 70 mph. My lights went out as my car spun around and around into the infield.
Since I was knocked clearly off from the racing surface of the track, they finished the last few laps of the race not knowing I was unconscious in the car. No one realized it until a wrecker was picking up the back of the car when my head fell forward into the steering wheel, which incidentally is what woke me up, to seeing stars and such.
That cracked my helmet, broke both sides off from my fiberglass race seat, caved in the side roll bars and bent the left rear wheel, axle, and housing at a 90 degree angle.
The rest of my weekend was a blur.....but that may have been from the beer and shots that were used to try to overcome the headache and dizziness(the aspirin wasn't working, go figure). |

This morning I went in and had the anesthesia for the endoscopy and colonocopy. The meds they give you sure aren't the same as olden days! I waked into the hospital at 7:30, was talking to the doctor at 8:15(purposely looking at the clock on the wall) and was walking around Krogers at 9:30. They got two rectal polyps(attorneys) and took a few biopsies from my throat.
I was expecting to be buzzed up for at least two days! Dang! |

The only time I've been knocked out was in my accident just shy of seven years ago. I was also told that I died three times in the ambulance. I guess neither place wanted me around. Go figure. I once had to throw two meth heads out of the pub, which they took exception to. At one point they slammed my head against a gas pipe thinking that would end the fight. It just pissed me off. Still have a dent in my skull, though. I've been put under for eleven surgical procedures, nine of which were from the accident. I've gotten sensitized to anesthesia. Last time it took me over three hours after the surgery to wake up when I was supposed to be awake a half hour after. That was scary. |

Evidently I passed out after losing it on a racetrack with my S3T, because I remember thinking "I'm screwed" but don't remember anything until I woke up on the ground in a world of hurt. I must have temporarily passed out from terror. |

A year ago today I had my heart attack and bypass surgery, and was out for 3 days, mostly drug induced, but I do remember the sound of the heart monitor, flat lining................. |
