Want To Know One Thing That Really Made Me Mad...
...when I read it several years ago?
There was a woman in the hospital who was comatose, and she and her husband had always had a wonderful marriage and loved each other very much.
One day, the man decided to make love to her--and I believe he thought this would bring her out of her coma because he was treating her as the love of his life.
I can't remember if he actually got around to entering her or not--or if he were simply fondling her.
But some of the staff came into the room and had him arrested for rape.
He had to go to jail--and I believe his wife ended up dying before he could get out and be with her again.
As I said, it has been years since I read this story, but I believe this man's heart was really broken, as he was left believing that he could have brought her back again by his act of love.
And I tend to be on his side, because I've heard of pregnant women who go into comas for one reason or another--only to wake up after giving birth.
There was a pregnant woman I read about who was put into a coma by being in a wreck, and she was being kept alive by machines for the simple reason that the baby still needed a place to finish growing to where he/she could survive outside of the womb.
It was thought that, after the baby was born, the woman would be taken off of the machines and allowed to die--but, after she brought her child into the world, she woke up!
There's still a lot we don't know about the human body's natural ability to heal itself!
Blessings!
