Laurelynn Glass - An error during a routine laparoscopic procedure threatened her
life
and sent her on a voyage to the light. My immediate reaction
from the separate from my body was that I was really confused
I didn't know what was going on. It was just like I was . .
And I think because it was just so traumatic. My body was down on the table and
there were seven people. I remember three on each side and one at the head and
there was a lot of commotion. people coming in and out and I was up and I don't know how I know
direction but I was up and off to the right
which was my right but and I
with seeing the physical body and I had no physical body
I just had the essence of me who I am. My brother-in-law
came ( and again it was from my right upper side) and came
and I just knew it was him just from his presence just from his
laughter and smile and
his energetic being. And it was just up there I mean there was no judgment
no preconceived ideas of who I was or where my spirit was or what
my essence was. It was just like enveloped in all this love.
When I returned back to my body my
first reaction was, " Wow! Theres so much pain!"
It was just so much of a difference from being in a place where
there is absolutely no pain and
to be returned and really slammed into my body and
just felt an incredible amount of pain and that was probably the biggest part and I was
really angry about being back I mean here I was like rejected from heaven
and I tried to tell some nurses and it just wasn't an accepted thing and you
know
it was just like "You know your highly medicated, and your drugged out,
your having delusion." They really were kind to me in the hospital
but when I tried to tell them what had happened. How I had left my body and
went beyond and was with this bright brilliant light and it was like
you know you're getting shots of morphine every two to three hours. You've been
through a huge
trauma right now. So, what we need you to do is just save your energy and your breath
and focus on getting better." and so,
I don't think it was that they didn't.. well I don't know I mean I never pursued it any
more at that time I just felt really rejected so
I didn't pursue it any further. Eight years I didn't talk about it and I
was going through an awful amount of rehab. I had quite a bit of back
physical therapy and all kinds of
the reparative surgery so, I didn't talk about it much
and I was starting to express it to a few friends and then when I got into graduate school
into physical therapy, actually to study what I was given
so much of through my rehab. yeah, I ran into some people there
and I was becoming more open to what I had been through trying to
understand the human body and actually when I was dissecting cadavers to really see where I was
injured which
was really pretty significant to be able to actually go into
a human body and see where all the injuries were. So, it was time to
really deal with it and talk about it.
