Man was awake during 23-year 'coma'

[Metamorpho1977]

someone should ride past his house on a horse dressed as the headless horseman just to mess with them.

Abortion is evil. You are evil. God shall strike you down with a righteous bolt of furious lightning. Your soul will boil in an eternal Hell, where it will be tortured by the demons of swiss cheese! Paahreeechah!

Have you been speaking to my guidance counselor from when I was back in school..?

Na not that I know of man. Just letting my over the top preacher side out.

That's.... such a sad story...

And it's also why I'm a DNR, should something happen to me. I don't want my family to see me in that kind of pain, nor would I want to BE alive in a state like that.

Katie, I'm sorry to hear about your sister.... that couldn't have been easy, but I agree with your family in what you did. *hugs*

I don't see how that is the same thing. He's alive now so what would be the point in telling him that his parents should have let him die? And if I'm not mistaken, he did say that he was angry at first.

I think he was angry at being misdiagnosed.
I'm very sorry to hear of what happened with your sister.
This guy was not in a coma though, he was just paralyzed, and his family believed that he was concious, so they kept him alive.
Now he is communicating through some device, and can move on with his new life.
Hopefully the family kept him entertained by some means if they really believed he was concious, even just a tv running in front of him. Horrible to think of him not having anything to occupy his mind.

I wonder why it is said he's communicating when they have someone type for him - is there something I'm not aware of?

Aw, thanks.
