Will He Be There Whenever I Wake Up? (the love life of a girl in a coma)

Everyone wonders what it's like to be blind or deaf. When the presenters come to school and try and describe how life is different, you just wonder, even if it is just for a moment. I know that I wondered about being blind for a long time, but now, that is my reality. No, I didn't lose my vision, whenever I wake up, I should still have 20/20 vision, but I can't see anymore. I can't move. I can't wake up. I am stuck in the prison of comatose, and there is no definite way out. I can hear the heart monitor, the nurses, the doctors, and all of my visitors. I can feel the needle in my arm that is giving me nutrients and medication, and I can feel the hands that keep my clean. I can smell the haunting aroma of the hospital, and can tell people apart by their smell. I can taste the substances they put on my teeth to keep them clean. I simply cannot see. I cannot give the people I hear crying at my bedside a look of reassurance, and I cannot reach out to wipe away their tears. So, for now, I observe through the bars of my cell that separate me from the rest of the world. I observe through the restrictions of comatose.#takethepledge #justwriteit
