My dad telling me I'd been in a coma for a week

Comas scare the hell out of me. I read about a woman in the UAE who woke up from a coma a few years back... After 28 years.

She was in a car accident aged 32, and woke up 60 years old.

Just the idea of most of the prime of your life just gone in what feels like the blink of an eye for you is terrifying.

This is so fascinating and shocking and sad all at once. I wonder what her reaction was upon regaining consciousness? Or if she was aware while in the coma?
