In November I had a masive heart attack and was not expected to live (technically, I guess I didn't , a few times) or have brain damage when I eventually woke up, if ever. I was in a coma for 2 weeks pretty much unaware of anything going on around me. I had a few flashes, mostly images, that I saw but one that kept coming back for some reasons was Jerry Garcia's Limo. I bought Jerry's limo after his death and have it in storage. For some reason, I kept "seeing" images of Jerry's van (it was a Dodge van customized into a limo, used for west coast touring and stuff) while I was in the Ozone.
When I finally woke up a few weeks later, I mentioned the limo and my daughter's eyes welled up. She told me that while I was in a coma, she put headphones on me and played some of my favorite Dead tunes (along with Exile on Main Street!), hoping to bring me out of wherever I was. It must have worked... here I am! Never, at the age of 60 r so, would I ever imagine my daughter playing GD music to me, trying to bring me back. Love like that can't be purchased and I will always remember the kindness everyone showed me, eve though I'm a SO and probably don't deserve it!
