Is there anybody who's been in a coma, or knows someone who was? I don't mean to be insensitive, but I've always wondered if being in a coma means you're semi-concious, eg, can smell, feel, hear. or if you're body is 'dead' but you're breathing? Can you think, but not react? Or is it like being put under a GA, and you're oblivious to everything? Altho I know a lady who could hear everything under GA...
. I hope my question is not offensive, I don't mean to offend anybody, and if I do, could you rather just ignore me instead of attack me for triggering you... Thanks |

my ex-husband was in a coma for 5 wks. afterward he proved by things he said, he's heard every word spoken to him, every song played for him and would react in his mind (i.e. attempt to answer) ... he never mentioned anything about feelings or awareness otherwise tho (i.e. knowing when he was being washed, shaved etc) ... sorry that's all the answer i have.
