I have read other similar accounts - “being in a coma” doesn’t necessarily mean “can’t hear”~
Thank God you came through this with no impairment.
One old friend’s husband was in a bad accident, not his fault, and was in the hospital, life support system, no hope of surviving, etc. They were separated at the time, she flew in as soon as she heard and “took over”. Doc said “no chance, pull the plug”. SHe refused, so they kept him intravenous etc. And said “Well, if he survives (as he was clearly doing) he’ll be a vegetable”. She stayed with him day and night, read, sang, prayed. When he came to, he said he could hear it all. He wound up being somewhat disabled, and is living still. Not only that, but he had been rather ill-behaved for some time, and after this he had a complete change of heart, was a much better person and was actually thankful for the accident becausce it “woke him up”.
Fie on them.
” Not only that, but he had been rather ill-behaved for some time, and after this he had a complete change of heart, was a much better person and was actually thankful for the accident becausce it “woke him up”.”
I have to laugh, because dad was the same way. He was a very difficult man before his incident, and after he was the sweetest man he had been in his whole life! I used to look at him and say “who’s in there, really?”
Dad and God did some business while he was missing!
