Hard to say , could be hearing my Mom had 3 Months to live ,
or a few Months later the sound of the EKG going BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
or the sound of a jeep and trailer Rolling end over end down a Mountain side with a friend inside

Hard to say

All the sounds of the hospital when Momdigr had a brain aneurism. ICU for 52 days. Popdigr didn't go home til Momdigr did.


[Drift] Great big fucking kudos to the brain surgeon (literally:p:). He was in his street clothes going home after emergency surgery, when they got the call Momdigr was on the way in. He had just operated on a teenage guy who went out the rear window of his barrel-rolling pick-up and had his head caved in by a shock mount. Eleven hour surgery they said. Then he goes right back in to work on Momdigr for six-seven hours. About two hours after he's done with her (he's still with her!), a little girl who fell through a stair railing onto a tile floor came in. He picked chunks of her skull out of her brain for several hours. The fucking man is a machine.[/Drift]

ETA: He holds 'reunions' occasionally. All three in this story are still here.

My Rhodesian Ridgeback farting. Every night.

The sound of a car accident victim with half his skull crushed in, trying to breath through the blood that was pouring out of his mouth and nose, and hearing the groans and moans coming from deep inside his body as he came towards consiousness.

He survived. He is one of my neighbours. We've become friends since he got out of hospital almost exactly a year ago now.

MB's panicked yell when he nicked his finger on a spinning table saw several years back. He doesn't shake easily, but he's also been known to throw caution to the wind (for example, leaving the guard off the saw)...so the sound was disturbing while not exactly surprising. It was very weird, to say the least.

In all seriousness, I would have to say the sound of a vehicle beginning to break, the screech of the tires, and the crunching of metal in a severe auto accident would rank high.

The sound of bones breaking. Particularly my own.

Seconding the various sounds of death. I was in the bedroom when momwolf took her last few breaths, figured out later that it was agonal breathing. Listened to her last couple heartbeats. Home hospice has it purposes, it's far better for the patient, but let me tell you, it sucks for the family caregiver.

The phone ringing at 5:23am

The sound of a car/not starting

I have heard lots of dogs die I am glad I was there to hold and comfort them when they passed. I worked in a vet's office and you would not believe the number of people that will put their pet to sleep but will not be there to comfort them when it happens. [/morbid]

The day my daughter died... I was trying to do CPR and when I pushed on her chest it forced the air out of her lungs and she made a really strange noise. It made me think that she was still alive and that I was helping...but she was not and I was not.

Sometimes I still have nightmares about that sound...brrrr.

@wolf

Yep...I have broken 15 bones so far and you are right...there is a distinct sound...lol.

I'm sure a lot of that may be "can not" instead of "will not", there is no way I could make it through that with Slick.:sniff:

Shit. Now I'm sad.

I was present when we put Beau, my cat of 13 years, to sleep. It was heart wrenching.

Me too.
