This is crazy, and I can't imagine being stuck in the 80's. They need to keep the TV on, so she can absorb some of the cool things about today! It's amazing really, but I just can't imagine thinking it's the 80's...the worst decade in my opinion!

If she thinks she is 22 then it sounds safe to assume that coma
patients are not aware of what is happening most of the time?
Ie, in this case it feels like 4 years instead of 16....

Pretty damn amazing! Miracles do still occur.

Well, I don't believe I've been in a coma and I still think I'm 22 ;~)
