I had a near death experience, but it didn't affect me in the long run. In my backyard, I have a free-standing punching bag (for boxing, I don't legitimately box, but I practice sometimes), and I had the flu, so I could only breath through one nostril. I was working extremely hard, landing huge combos, but then I stopped hitting because I felt a vein beating in the back of my neck extremely hard, due to a lack of desperation, and it most likely got punctured. I stumbled and fainted into the deep end of my pool. Had I not woken up from the cold water (I was face-down in the pool) I would've died. It really was a "pain in the neck" until after a few days. (No pun intended.)
