I have a few stories - one was about my mom and I'll try to keep it short cause it can get into a loooong story. Anyways, my mom got deathly ill on December 26, 2006 and was rushed to the hospital where they told us in about 2 hours she would have been dead. She stayed in the hospital for 2.5 months in ICU intubated. About 2-3 weeks after she was admitted, I had found out I was pregnant, then a week after I found out I had a miscarriage. I never mentioned anything about "baby" in my mom's room and she was completely knocked out anyways. About mid February then took the tubes out of her and put the trach on her and she was really drugged. I was visiting her and out of no where she says (as best as she could) "I've got to get out of here. I have to go buy baby shoes." I started laughing cause it was pretty random and told her she had no reason to buy baby shoes and she was still really sick and needed to stay where she was. A couple weeks later she was getting better and they took her off of some of the medications, so she was more herself and that's when I finally told her what she had said, then I told her how I had been pregnant and lost the baby. She said, I knew it all along. How in the world did she know that?!

Another mom story. My mom has a lot of chronic illnesses. Anyways, she had gone in for her yearly physical and of course had blood work and all that. She wasn't feeling sick or anything, so it wasn't that big of a deal. Before my mom got home that day, I had a strange feeling. She came home and after saying hello, she told me that she had something to tell me. Before she could say anything I said, "You have diabetes don't you?" and sure enough, her bloodwork came back positive for diabetes.

Another story of mine - last year or about a year and a half ago I had started a new medicine for insomnia and had an allergic reaction to it. My cousin's girlfriend (ex girlfriend now) called me later in the day and asked how I was feeling, so being confused why she would ask since I hadn't talked to her all day, I told proceeded to tell her that I had an allergic reaction to my medicine. She said "Yea I know, that's why I called. You told me a couple days ago." Of course, I hadn't even picked up the prescription a couple days ago, so how could I have taken it. She swears up and down that I had told her days before and I definitely did not.
