Experience description:

I remember when I first arrived at the hospital in Hamilton to have the operation done on my chest that this lump had to be removed as yet I still have the scare to prove it, I was then put to sleep and about 3 minutes later I saw myself above my body floating on the ceiling and looking down at the doctors operating on me at the time and wondered why I was up there and my body was floating to me at the time I was happy but wondering why I was up there and not down where my body was laying, it is hard to explain but it seemed that I was there for ages, then what seemed for ever I awoke back in my body again I remember saying to my father that I was up there looking at the doctors down here, my father sort of looked at me and laughed to himself but this experience is one that I have never forgotten since that day.
