Remember the time you almost/could've died?

I've had two seperate medical doctors tell me that I was going to die, unless I got a new kidney and possibly new liver. I was saddled with a failing kidney and a enlarged liver. Since I didn't think I'd have a serious chance with a operation of that magnitude, I more or less chose death. I'm kind of disappointed that it didn't happen actually.

Anyway roughly ten years before that incident, a major flood happened in my area. Everyone in the general area caught a staph infection that had gone airborne. To make the story short, I didn't completely get rid of it. So for ten years or so I carried it around inside me. No real major health issues, but I was prone to illness. Then my sophmore year of high school I got mono. Which weakened my body with enough toxins building up that caused my kidneys started to fail, which were already under a lot of stress from the staph. An enlarged liver followed soon after.

Sadly, I don't have any weird "death experiences" stories, because I was asleep pretty much the whole time. Too tired from mono. Best way to die imho. I don't really know how or why I made it through. Neither do any of the doctors I've seen. But over the course of about six years I got better, and now I'm in prime shape. Guess I'm too stubborn, or it just wasn't my time. I could complain, but I'm alive so there'd be no point. All I have to say is that adversity builds character.

Incidently, and against the advices of the doctors/family/friends I made up what I missed of my sophmore/junior years of high school. My senior year was almost nonexistent since I was only missing 2 and a half credits. Took a year off before college to fully recover. Probably prevented me from suffering a relapse at that point.
