Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 Hi Liz, I'm so sorry to hear your sister is not doing well. I do know for a fact that people hear you when your in a coma, so rest assured your Sister knows you are there with her. My Mom was in a coma at one time and she told us stuff we had told her, pretty amazing. Just keep talking to her and holding her hand. We all will be praying for you & her. Please take care, love Lu However the prognosis is not good. I am spending most of my time at the hospital, just holdinmg her hand, I don't know if she knows I am there, but may be she does some of the time.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 Thanks Liz I did feel like a wimp. I have had 3 Caesareans and a laminectomy and l must admit l thought this would be a piece of cake compared to that. I spent so much time concentrating on making the decision to have the op, l really didn't stop to think it could be on the painful side. Day 9 now and things are starting to look up, but l was wondering last week why have l put myself though this.
