Thank you so much for sharing and talking to me. It helps. I do have some dreams that this is not real and I'm still in a coma. It scares the crap out of me. In my "coma dream" I lost my family. I was in a jail and they were so upset with me and angry. When I was taken off the vent (reality) I was so happy to have them back. So now my current dreams screw with me and try to take them away. Other than this, I'm a very normal person. Lol. Anyway, thanks again. It's good to know I'm not alone. I'm here to listen to you as well. So if you have any questions dont be affraid to ask.

Jon, It is unfortunate that your family could not be with you. They endured a traumatic event, too. How are they getting along?
