Polish Man Wakes From 19-Year Coma

[Robman?]

WARSAW (June 2) - A 65-year-old railwayman who fell into a coma following in an accident in communist Poland regained consciousness 19 years later to find democracy and a market economy, Polish media reported on Saturday.

Wheelchair-bound Jan Grzebski, whom doctors had given only two or three years to live following his 1988 accident, credited his caring wife Gertruda with his revival.

"It was Gertruda that saved me, and I'll never forget it" Grzebski told news channel TVN24.

"For 19 years Mrs Grzebska did the job of an experienced intensive care team, changing her comatose husband's position every hour to prevent bed-sore infections," Super Express reported Dr Boguslaw Poniatowski as saying.

"When I went into a coma there was only tea and vinegar in the shops, meat was rationed and huge petrol queues were everywhere," Grzebski told TVN24, describing his recollections of the communist system's economic collapse.

"Now I see people on the streets with cell phones and there are so many goods in the shops it makes my head spin."

Grzebski awoke to find his four children had all married and produced 11 grandchildren during his years in hospital.

He said he vaguely recalled the family gatherings he was taken to while in a coma and his wife and children trying to communicate with him.

i wonder if he's a G'n'R fan that be an interesting story to tell him as well as cell phones hybrid cars the war in iraq and why gasoline is so damn expensive. Thats not even the half of it either, the things this man has missed he's probably gonna shit himself when he fully comes to and lets it all sink in?

when your in a coma for that long does your body age at all?

i think its even more amazing to go into a coma under a stifling communist regime and wake up in a thriving democracy.

why would it?

your in a coma for 19 years your body doesn't move or do anything. In the past 19 years of your life you've up and a about been moving all around but this guy wasn't. Almost like he was preserved or something like that.

is there any docters here that'd know???

Oh, I see.? You've found the way to prolong your life...sit around and do nothing.? All this time I thought it was diet and exercise.

It's common sense, you don't need to be doctor to know.? Time doesn't stop because a person is in a coma, their organs are still working, still aging.? I'm sure there's a lot of muscle atrophy from lack of use, but that doesn't make him "preserved".

And if don't trust my "common sense" approach, then how about this - I've worked with people so profoundly retarded that all they do is lay in bed.? They don't talk, move or even feed themselves.? And they don't live longer at all, they actually often have shorter life spans.

what crawled up your ass?

i was just asking a question, i didn't mean to sound ignorant if i did.

Before you call some one lazy and stupid, which is what you basically did, make sure you know that they are what you claim then to be.

From an interview at Cnn.com

"Grzebski:? ? ? ?    Do Sonny and Cher still have that crappy T.V show?
Anderson Cooper:? ? ? ? No,? he became a Senator, and She won an Oscar!
Grzebski:? ? ? ? Good Night (falls back into his coma)"

? After claiming that after being in a coma for 19 years you don't age, it's best to keep a low profie...
