That sucks. He would have missed Macgyver, Miami Vice and the A Team.

No.

[jon@af]

Yes, and no.

You’re damn right, I’d like to wake up. I know that a lot would be missed, but there is a lot of life left and his loved ones to see again. I’d be excited to see all the new things and changes that occurred.

Yeah, I agree....I think the changes would shock an already unstable person (due to coma)

I read about that in the paper a week ago. They were compaing recents events to those of 19 years ago and said that he'd probably thing of being knocked out again.. (this was the Daily Mail tho and if you know this paper you realise that it tries to turn every story into an end of the world scenario)

I was also informed that people who suffer a long coma don't last very long when they wake up. Not sure if thats true.

What would he do now ? He's gonna find it hard to get up to date on all thats happened

If I woke up from a 19 year coma and found out my 19 year old daughter was a stripper, my wife has had 3 other kids by a differnet guy and that she ahs hardly seen me while in a coma...Id be thinking to hell with this put me back in the coma I was enjoying the sleep.

If you woke up from 19 years in a coma, would you therefore have to stay awake for 19 years?
I think itd be good to wake up from it, get to start from a clean slate. And maybe exact revenge on whoever put me in a coma, muahahaha.

I'd send a letter to the wife saying you should've unplugged me if you're going to marry someone else.

Hang on a second here, and lets have a think. Do you really blame the wife for it? I mean, after the first 10 or so years you wouldnt have a clue whether hes going to come to or not. She needs company and a relationship, too.

As for the daughter being a stripper....we'll there just aint no way around that one.

i heard this in Jay Leno last nite.Thats really gotta suck. i agree with Dublinguy, jus put me back too sleep. the doctors have kept him in the hospital for 19 years, keep him in the hospital for another 20 or 30 years.

[themodelkid]

All i gotta say is thats gotta be one HUGE medical bill!!!

[tomthebomb65]

Of course that guy hasn't moved a muscle in 19 years so they're probably jello by now.
