One of My Worst Fears...
The woman, from the village of Jablonowo in central Poland, was pronounced dead by a doctor from the emergency medical services after her husband called an ambulance...
"A funeral company took the body to the morgue," a police spokesman told the Telegraph. "Several hours later, a worker there noticed the bag containing the body was moving," he said. "He called a doctor who noted the woman's vital functions had returned."...
This reminds me of a story I saw years ago on "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" when a man is paralyzed in a car accident and pronounced dead, despite being very much alive. To his horror, he's taken to the autopsy room to be hacked into, but he manages to 'almost' save himself by crying a single tear to show he's still alive.
All through the show, the man continues talking and trying to convince those looking after his body --that he is 'still alive'.
That one episode (along with a couple of others about being buried alive) during my younger years caused me to forever fear what happens when you die or can't respond to medical professionals.
I know.....That's just plain silly.....but it's true!

Oh THANKSSSS LisB - just what I needed...LOL
This is why I figure I may be cremated -- at least then I will GO FAST rather than my going by kicking and screaming my lungs out in a casket. If I don't get cremated than I'm having my relatives put a gun, axe and oxygen device in my casket.

LOl! Good plan - be sure to add one of those bells to your monument too.
And, yeah, I've always planned to be cremated too. Just sounds kinda, I dunno...easier.

I'm torn however (on cremation) about allowing my relatives one last 'glance' if you will of my pitiful face! Perhaps I'll have them rent a casket for viewing then send me off to burn. That way I can see which ones REALLY cared about me....LOL

Umm, I hate to break it to ya, there, Coonsey, but I don't think you're gonna be able to see anything at that point, heh heh. Then again, I suppose we'll never know (or we might find out, or....oy. Never mind). =D

Hey, if I'm still alive --- I'll still see, that is...if they don't seal my eyes shut, in that case I'll have to HEAR the crying....or laughs which ever they may be.
Boy am I morbid or what!
