I found the story of the 'Living Corpse' who woke up after a 19-year Coma, an inspiring one, a Rip Van Winkle tale of our time.
Hats off to the wife who cared for him for 19 years at home with great love and devotion, changing his position every hour to prevent bedsores.
"I would fly into a rage every time someone would say that people like him should be euthanized, so they don't suffer," she told the local daily paper. "I believed Janek would recover," she said, using an affectionate version of his name.
"This is my great reward for all the care, faith and love," she told the AP, weeping.
"He remembers everything that was going on around him," she said. "He talks about it and remembers the wedding of our children. He had fever around the time of the weddings, so he knew something big was taking place."
Jan Grzebska fell into a coma following in communist Poland and awoke to find democracy and a market economy.
"The world is prettier now" than it was under communism he told his wife.
Jan spoke to Polish television
When I went into a coma there was only tea and vinegar in the shops, meat was rationed and huge petrol queues were everywhere. What amazes me today is all these people who walk around with their mobile phones and never stop moaning. I've got nothing to complain about.
Apart from the miracle of his reawakening, we should take note that comatose often can hear and remember what's said around them.
