Emerging from Coma: The development of spasticity is a milestone in the course of recovery

Image
From my care journal on July 14, 2019 Randall Vahab at Comadude.com , and my husband, have an uncanny similarity during the same time frame in their recoveries from a coma. So interesting, that I saved pictures and have been researching for months to find out what it meant. The similarity is muscle spasticity. Not just spasticity, but in the cases of my husband and Randall Vaab, it's remarkable in that it's the exact same limbs, to the exact same degree, which they hold in the exact same position during the exact same period of recovery. I took a mental note of it and have been searching for an explanation since then. I knew it meant there is a common thread in their recovery. I finally found a study pointing to the answer. My research from today shows that "the development of spasticity is a milestone in the course of recovery" . That really makes my day. I knew it. I had an intuition about it being a good sign. Thinking about talking to Randall makes my head spin.
