In 1995, 33-year-old Kate Adamson fell into Locked-In Syndrome, or total paralysis from brain injury, due to a brain stem stroke. Doctors assumed that she was in a vegetative state when she was completely aware of what was going on around her. At one point, she was operated on without an anaesthetic. (Nelson Mail) Doctors said she had less than a one in a million chance of surviving.
She apparently was that one in a million. Ms Adamson spent three months in rehabilitation, slowly learning everything all over again – how to eat, talk and walk. She still has no use of her left arm, wears a brace on her left leg and walks with the help of a cane. She has written a book, Paralyzed but not Powerless.
