#12Wow, this is heartbreaking. I think I would rather just never come out of the coma - the trauma this poor women endured ….
At least she woke up before her husband died. Can you imagine waking up with the news that he passed after taking care of her for 30+ years?

> The talented business-woman, who had run two apron shops near Toronto, Canada, before her illness, fell into a coma on Nov 22, 1963, aged 50.
Given that the woman was from Toronto, probably $0.

I wondered, too, and there isn't a lot of reliable information about it online

#17She could “set up and walk” while in a coma. I didn’t know you could do that.
Yeah, I wish the story gave a more precise explanation about her medical diagnosis. Even being able to walk with help doesn't fit my understanding of coma.

Yeah, also "ate simple foods." These are red flags for me.

#20Sounds shady and fake AF
My brother was in coma for a 1year, when he woke up, he couldn't speak for a few days and he couldn't walk at all for a few months
So 30 years in coma, and waking up as a granny, i doubt you can ever make it and be this aware
