On her neurology report, the doctor said that she reacted to her family, and ignored Michael! I love that.

One of the saddest things I read about the case (and believe me I grieve over all of it) is the one nurse testifying that she would secretly feed Terri jello because she loved that so much. The nurse had to stop because she was deathly afraid of Michael discovering it.
I can just imagine what a treat and treasure that must have been for Terri and that for some reason just breaks my heart so much.

And you're now hearing from another one. I have been pronounced dead. I heard the doctor say the words. (My grandmother says she thinks I probably survived because I forced myself to respond, proving him wrong).
Also,when I had heart surgery last year, I heard the doctors & nurses talking around me when I was "unconscious". So I know that this can happen.
I have been doing a little research on something called a "locked in" state, where the person is awake & aware, but has no ability to show that they are aware. It can be detected, medically, but it is a very scary thought that someone could be in this position, & then, instead of loving care, being mistreated, even killed.

Geez my aunt had the same thing happen. She was in a very serious car accident and was (temporarily) paralyzed. She heard a doctor say "Well this one's dead" and they even put a blanket over her head. Apparently someone eventually noticed the blanket was moving a bit and they finally treated her. She said it was horrible knowing that she was alive but able to communicate to anyone. It only lasted a few hours so thankfully she was able to recover completely. But just imagine. That locked in state does sound like it's much more common than anyone knew.

I read someplace about Sophia Loren, that when she had her 2 children by C-section, she was in this state. She said that it was absolutely terrifying, because she was totally aware of the surgery going on, & kept trying to communicate...
I agree that it is probably more common than we know. One doctor told me that some anesthetics (mostly older ones) cause amnesia about the time you are under them, so that there may be people that have had these types of anesthesia that do not remember, which is a little better, but still!!
This is another part of the whole subject of Terri & others like her...Not only are they helpless, they may very well be completely conscious of what is happening to them...

Back in 1959 my oldest sister Linda was in a coma for 2 weeks due to injuries suffered from a car accident. My aunt and grandmother had the temerity to tell my mother that they were praying that she would die.

That's why I no longer depend on what the mainstream media has to say. Though I may read my local newspaper and the closest "big city" newspaper (In my case the Sacramento Bee), I read what they have to say with a grain of salt. Their "coverage" of Terri's case proved dismal.
