Woman wakes after 27 years in a coma

A woman from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) who was seriously injured in a traffic accident in 1991 has made a seemingly miraculous recovery after emerging from a 27-year-long coma.

Munira Abdulla, who was aged 32 at the time of the accident, suffered a severe brain injury after the car she was travelling in collided with a bus on the way to pick up her son from school.

Omar Webair, who was then four, was sitting in the back of the vehicle with her, but was left unscathed as his mother cradled him in her arms just before the accident.

My Neurologist stated the brain is the most slow healing organ in the body.

It is also by far the most complex.

It is capable of regenerating injured "neuro-pathways," for lack of a technical description.

Imagine telling someone who was in a coma since 1991, that Donald Trump is the President of the United States.

Yes. Imagine.

A doubly good day for the recovery.

Just think, to her it was like waking up in the morning except now she's 60, no doubt long divorced and has a hell of long road of physical recovery ahead of her. Still better than being a vegetable!
