Have you ever been in a coma?

Food, yes.

Medical, no.

Well why dont you recap your own details for those that dont know...

Many OTers seem to be posting from a deep coma, so this thread should be interesting.

virginity coma

I fricked around and got some head and ate a turkey sandwich. Woke up three days later.

Yep. When I was married.

My son had something similar when he was 12. Head injury and they kept him in the coma for 3 days d/t brain swelling as you spoke of. To answer you other questions, he woke up with weakness to one side of his body. He walked like someone who had a stroke. He was hospitalized 2 weeks in total then started physical and/or occupational therapy. That worked pretty well and he got a lot of his motor skills back and eventually all or almost all of it back. His school grades never came all the way back. He struggled initially then eventually got to making mostly Bs and Cs, whereas he was a very strong student prior to the accident. His grades may have been partly due to him hitting puberty around the same time and his focus may have shifted some but the head injury definitely affected them initially. He’s 31 now and doing well. He told me several years ago he still gets dizzy doing certain things. I think sit ups were one of them. And no, I don’t think he has any memory of the time in the coma but I’m not positive about that.

Many years ago, I knew a chick that was involved in a bad wreck at the intersection of Greenleaves Blvd & hwy 190 in Mandeville and she spent 3 -4 months in a coma. We went to HS together and even though we didn't know each other personally, she still knew me. Anyway, after she came out of the coma, whenever I would see her, sometimes she knew me, sometimes she didn't.

Yes, fractured skull, age 7. Don’t remember anything during coma. Only lasted from the fracture time of about 2 pm until next day. Woke up in ER and they were trying to get me to eat oatmeal. I hated oatmeal at the time.
