I had to do some catch-up on #16 before I read this one. I was so happy to find that Jimmy made it through. Great story cowboy.

I’ve heard stories of people semiconscious during comas or under anesthesia. It must be terrifying.

Thanks, James.

Hello Switter. Thank you! Must be very strange, indeed. I think all involved have learned to watch what they say during these situations. No jokes or untoward comments.

I've thought about being conscious with nobody knowing. Scary to think about. Glad Jimmy broke free of the coma.

I know. There is a story, maybe real, maybe a Twilight Zone episode. about a soldier (I think) wounded so badly he was just a torso that was still alive, and most certainly not functioning brainwise. They thought. Months went by. A nurse recognized by accident that he responded to some stimuli by his breathing motions. They went on to communicate in a kind of Morse Code. I can't remember the story well, it was a long time ago. I found it upsetting. Would like to read it again. Thanks, Paul!
