Foxy Awakens From Coma, Has Twins LOS ANGELES (Rooters) - A pregnant woman who spent nearly a month in a coma stunned doctors when she awakened unexpectedly three days after a priest gave her last rites, her doctor said Thursday. Foxstress has since given birth to twins and could be on her way to a full recovery, John Bumpee, a vascular neurosurgeon at the University of California Medical Center, told Rooters. He said the case was ''just a miracle.'' Bumpee said Foxstress slipped into a coma April 25 after complaining about headaches and nausea. Doctors found that a previously undiagnosed condition called an arteriovenous malformation had caused arteries in her brain to rupture. They said it was possibly due to the surrounding atmosphere of poots released by DSGumby and Nasty Nathanc. After three weeks with no change in her condition, Bumpee said, he advised her family to withdraw life support. So her computer was unhooked, and the stock screen deleted. But as a priest prepared to give her last rites and a nurse suctioned her breathing tube, Bumpee said, Foxtsress coughed and moved slightly, releasing a coma poot that knocked the little birdies out of trees for blocks around. While doctors saw those actions as a reflex, Bumpee said, family members, wearimg gas masks, were convinced that she was preparing to emerge from the coma and asked that she be kept on life support. Several days later, Bumpee said, Foxstress stunned him by waking from her coma and responding to his commands. Bumpee was quite pleased but declined to elaborate on just what those commands were. She slipped back into a coma several days later, then awoke again, apparently for good, and gave birth to healthy twins. ''Whether that initial cough was a sign from God I don't know, but it certainly saved her life, because it convinced her family to leave her on life-support,'' Bumpee said. The doctor said he could find no medical explanation for her recovery, which he would have considered impossible given the devastating nature of her brain injury from the long sustained exposure to DSGumby and Nasty Nathanc poots. ''It's just a miracle,'' he said. ''In 17 years this is the first patient I've ever had wake up from a coma under these conditions.'' Strangely enough the twins resemble DSGumby and Nasty Nathanc, now on the lam from the law. Bumpee said Foxstress has continued to make ''remarkable'' progress toward recovery and could be released to a rehabilitation facility, Kasha's Home For Wayward Traders as early as Monday.

Trashcan Man Lives An April Associated Press dispatch extolled the dedication of Sierra Madre, Calif., garbage aficionado DSGumby, age 39, who, according to his parents, has been into trash since he was 2 and whose family vacation snapshots (to Sea World, etc.) always feature him inspecting local trash cans. He follows garbage trucks on their routes and has recently begun raising garbage-eating worms, under the supervision of local derelict Nasty Nathanc, who apparently is a lot like DSGumby, proclaiming that garbage is "one of the most fun things you can possibly imagine."
