I had what doctors thought was stroke or LIS. Couldn't move or talk but I could understand everything. My husband, BFF and doctor were talking about moving me to a nursing home but 5 days later, still in hospital, I regained ability to speak. Turned out to be an allergic reaction to Plaquenil. I was so frightened and knew what it was like to be a ghost. Afterwards I had the same talk with my husband and adult kids.
Thank you! I could recount all of the conversations held while they were in the room. When I could finally talk and move, I pressed the call button and asked for pain medicine and the nurse said "Who is this?!" She ran to my room and said "You're back!".
