David: WTF

This headline caught my attention this afternoon: "Mom: Son in coma heard everything for 23 years"

BRUSSELS – A man who emerged from what doctors thought was a vegetative state says he was fully conscious for 23 years but could not respond because he was paralyzed, his mother said Monday...

Rom [Houben, 46] used the device to tell a reporter for the German magazine Der Spiegel that: "I screamed but there was nothing to hear."...

More searching finally got her in touch with Laureys, who put Houben through a PET scan that indicated he was conscious. The family and doctors then began trying to establish communication.

A breakthrough came when he was able to indicate yes or no by slightly moving his foot to push a computer device placed there by Laureys' team...

Houben has started writing a book on his experiences.


The book is called "Yes yes no." Just kidding. The full article explains he can communicate fully now through a special computer .
Holy crap. That is nuts. I can't even wrap my head around that.

And, by the way, the movie Up is stupid sad. Good. But stupid sad. At the very least it had me energized about having C in my life, along for the adventure.

And how.
