Woman awakens after 6 years

"Bjork said he could not explain why she awoke but said it could happen again. He said it was unlikely she would show much improvement beyond similar brief periods of lucidity because of the severity of her brain damage."
This is ridiculous. The brain damage doesn't "come and go". If there really is a severe brain damage, how could she wake up, talk, be aware of her surroundings, eat, etc at all for DAYS?!
Obviously there is something else going on in at least some of the cases that are being diagnoses as vegetatives state -- and I bet she was NOT diagnosed as "minimally conscious" until AFTER she woke up.

There are all sorts of stories of this sort of thing, even stories of children who were declared dead and then got out of bed and resumed normal activity as if nothing had happened. Someone once said that "reality is the one illusion we all share"!
