Coma man awake after two years Reuters 07oct05 AN Italian man who spent two years supposedly unconscious in a deep coma, written off by doctors as almost dead, awoke saying he had heard and understood everything happening around him, his family said. Salvatore Crisafulli, a father of four, described his case as a "miracle" that proves lost causes are anything but hopeless. His brother even called Mr Crisafulli "an Italian Terri Schiavo case" with reference to the brain-damaged Florida woman who died in March after her feeding tube was removed. "The doctors said that I wasn't conscious, but I understood everything and I cried in desperation," Mr Crisafulli said. The comments were relayed through his brother as Mr Crisafulli, 38, recovered. He came out of a coma three months ago but only began speaking recently. His first word was "Mamma", his mother said. Mr Crisafulli will probably never be the same as he was before the accident, and his brother spoke about his affected speech. "My brother speaks and remembers. I don't expect that he will be like he was, but it's already a miracle," Pietro told Corriere della Sera newspaper.

Most amusing reply (though a bit scattered...)! "... a man has a gun to your head threatening to kill you." Someone threatening YOU???????? (Cause, I'm fine.) Otherwise, Im not sure I see any connection. "... hell has placed a wall around you to keep you from seeing that. I am here to knock that wall down." Well, I donno... but, speaking only for myself, it's just that your efforts seem so ineffectual. I mean... if you are not having much success in proselytizing, maybe it's time to try different tactics? You know, like maybe trying to not be so hostile, offensive, scatological, and illogical sometime. Who knows? Sweet reason and the Golden Rule might actually result in some victories for you....
