This is a bit of an exaggeration about it being near death but I just accidentally sprayed deodorant up close into my left eye.
I am keeping it closed for now
I feel like that was a close shave with blindness in one eye.
Did a near death experience give you a new appreciation for life.
It never did me, I am unimpressed with myself
Warm running water over the eye should help. That’s what I would do at least.
As for the near death experiences, I’ve never… had any of the revelations that people often attribute to such experiences. I’ve had them (I won’t go into them here even with your warning up there) but I can assure you I’ve had them. Anyway, after them, I just get up and do my best to carry on as if they never happened. I didn’t die, so why dwell on it is how I looked at them. Wouldn’t help anyone for me to bring it up anyway, right? 
I almost died in a ATV accident when I was 16 years old. Crashed into a tree, broke my collarbone and got a serious concussion.
Makes me grateful that i’m alive.
I had cancer when I was 14-16.
Glad you’re still alive! @Pandy
Thanks, @TheCanuk! I actually really needed to hear that today!
You are unimpressed by life because you are not being a witness to the magic show
That’s tough.
I’m sorry @Pandy
I’m glad you are with us
Thanks, @Wave!

OK when I tried to kill myself and my voices eventually told me to stop taking more pills, I did feel a HUGE appreciation for life, but it didn’t last long
I used to abuse deodorant with a sock in hospital
I spent a couple minutes at the bottom of the deep end of a swimming pool at age 12. Took them another minute to get my heart going again. For me it was just passing out and then waking up with broken ribs from the chest compressions. No lights or flashbacks.
Are you uncinscious during major surgery? I mean anaesthetics.
The closest time I’ve been to death was during a car crash. I was riding passenger side, it was late at night, there was a freight truck in front of us, the kind of trailer used to carry forklifts and such. About 5 feet off the ground and made of steel. The driver hadn’t noticed because the truck had no tail lights. He was going about 45 miles per hour and when we got near I thought he would slow down. He didn’t, I managed to pull the emergency break and changed the transmission to parking. The car skid, the tires locked, it made a bad scraping sound and we crashed. Luckily I think what I did saved us both from major injuries, I think had I not the speed we were going at may have made the crash worse. In my mind that trailer could have decapitated us.
I didn’t really have any flashes or thoughts about it. It happened very quickly.
Yes, it’s like going into a deep sleep, no dreams. Waking up is a bugger, you feel drugged for a bit. Especially if you’re pumped full of morphine.
This has not been my experience. When I wake up, I feel fine. I’m super relaxed but cautious, which for me is fine, I guess.
When I have been out, it was more like I was shut off. I didn’t have dreams but apparently one time I wasn’t put under “enough” and I “fought” the surgeon. Apparently, that entails moving away from him, clenching my teeth and growling at him. The second time around, they had to have more on hand and they had me sign another waver saying they weren’t response if I had adverse effects from such a high dose.
It worked the second time around. Recovering for me is apparently the same as a wounded animal. Get in a corner, cover vital parts and be cautious of people approaching. I did the same things after I got home. I no it doesn’t sound relaxed but you also don’t know what my baseline is. 
When my heart stopped after a suicide attempt I had an experience. But I can’t share it here.
I wish I could have a genuine NDE, they often result in people losing their fear of death. The one time I came close to death though, I didn’t lose consciousness and nothing special happened.
If a person wants to research near death experiences there are other places on the internet where they can do that.
I’ve had a fair number of adverse reactions to general anesthetic. They had to intubate me once because of it, couldn’t breathe properly. The fact that I don’t play well with it could be an underlying reason.
