What's weird though is several hours before then I was reacting very badly to the drugs they gave me (which isn't what caused me to "die" - I aspirated on vomit and my heart stopped). I had tubes down me and couldn't talk but even though I remember NOTHING of this, I was writing stuff down - phone numbers of friends to contact, information about medications I was taking - but most interesting was that I wrote "I'm freaking out. I keep passing out, having out of body experiences then waking up and not knowing where I am." I also wrote several times "I'm scared". Again, I don't remember any of that. I was for all intents and purposes unconscious but was functioning - very strange.

My uncle has died 3 times - 1st time he saw nothing. 2nd time he had that thing where you literally see your life pass before your eyes in high speed. 3rd time he said he had the most wonderful feeling - something that he couldn't even describe - just felt great. Only to be brought back by a nurse saying "You're not dying on MY shift!", lol.
I am glad you didn't permanently die!

You have to love that nurse though..she didn't want the paper work.
