Today (Monday June 4) AOL and other outlets like the BBC picked up this story of a Polish man, cared for mostly at home by his wife, who came out of a 19 year coma.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6715313.stmHe is excited to see that Poland is brighter and more prosperous after Communism's fall.
Yes the doctors thot he'd die soon....after his accident.
Whether or not he woke up, his wife is to be commended. She took her wedding vows to the ultimate limit. She cared for him, including turning him every hour to avoid bedsores.
What we FORGET is that we are TRANSFORMED by our daily choices. Her daily choice to lovingly care for her then severely disabled husband has made her a great example of a strong, good woman.
SHE DESERVES MUCH COMMENDATION--whether or not her husband had awakened.

(i only wish the parents of Terri Schiavo could have been allowed to care for their daughter till---her natural end, whatever that would have been. We know LITTLE about the comatose state. Possibly the person in that state senses some things, including love and
(in the case of Schiavo's philandering husband) eventually CONTEMPT.)
