When you are in a medically induced coma, you are sleeping. You arent able to talk, dream, nothing. I was kept asleep for so long due to my first surgery not taking. It was awful, Im glad I was kept asleep. The docs used leeches and the skin died and turned black. I wish my children had not witnessed this. It must have been awful for them to see their mother in this state. Im so glad that part of my life is over and Im so much better now.
