After 12 years in ‘vegetative state’: reveals ‘I was aware of everything’
- klyrs 7y agoAnother reminder to make a living will. I'm not sure I'd want to come back to a life I've missed 12 years of. But I certainly wouldn't want to endure 12 years of this.

- evolve2k 7y agoThis article is not the best source. I’ve read his story before (not sure where right now). It misses the best part. After he regained conciousness he didn’t just “start to heal and then get a girlfriend”. He was stuck watching Barnie and was wishing he would just die and then something in him shifted and he thought ok well atleast if I can read the time I can start to know when Barnie will end. Article didn’t mention he was tech geek also. He worked out a way to read time time without a clock.. just from what he could see before him. As his brain ramped up and he began to create mental puzzle tasks for himself he began to recover. I’ll try find a better article rather than give the punchline away. I’m pretty sure I heard an audio recording of what happened.
