Another incident that happened, during my time in the coma, was that I was walking down a hospital hallway toward a brightly lit room at the end of the hall. Suddenly a man in scrubs stepped out and told me to sit down. He proceeded to tell me where I was and what had happened. This man turned out to be my respiratory therapist. (I had never seen or met him.)  

The last thing that happened was my out of body experience. My husband was at his mother's house. I walked in and tried to get his attention, but he could not see me. I sat down next to his niece and she handed me a crayon to color with. I sat there and listened to all of the things they were discussing. After I woke up from the coma, I was able to tell him everything that was said that day, what everyone was wearing and even what his mother was cooking. This happened one other time and he was at his sister's house. I had never been in her new home, and still have not, but can tell him what they were talking about and what the house looked like. I am even able to recall where the furniture was.  

The last thing that happened was that I was able to climb out of my hospital bed and walk down the hall. Nobody seemed to see me and I even sat in on the shift change meeting that the nurses were having. I have not verified what I saw and heard during the meeting, but found it unusual to say the least.
