After bypass surgery fifteen years ago I had a respirator, catheter
and a load of Ivs. When I woke up, my hands were restrained;
apparently I had tried to undo some of my connections!! I must have
nodded that I would be a good boy because they let my hands be
freed! I obviously couldn't talk around the respirator but was
holding my wife's hand and she thought wiggling my fingers. Then she
figured out I was sending Morse and then I was able to get some
questions answered. Apparently I carried on a reasonable
conversation and I swear, I don't remember a bit about any of
it. That whole day is forever gone!! I'm amazed at myself; I
shouldn't have been alert enough to figure out communication!
