Wheelchair-bound Jan Grzebski, whom doctors had given only two or three years to live following his 1988 accident, credited his caring wife Gertruda with his revival.
"It was Gertruda that saved me, and I'll never forget it," Grzebski told news channel TVN24.
"For 19 years Mrs. Grzebska did the job of an experienced intensive care team, changing her comatose husband's position every hour to prevent bed-sore infections," Super Express reported Dr. Boguslaw Poniatowski as saying.
"When I went into a coma there was only tea and vinegar in the shops, meat was rationed and huge petrol lines were everywhere," Grzebski told TVN24, describing his recollections of the communist system's economic collapse.
"Now I see people on the streets with cell phones and there are so many goods in the shops it makes my head spin."
Grzebski awoke to find his four children had all married and produced 11 grandchildren during his years in hospital.
Talk about your Rip Van Winkle.
It's a good thing Jan Grzebski had a wife who wanted to take care of him rather than killing him.
Sharon,
ReplyDeleteA good story, thank you. I've enjoyed stopping by your blog as you always have some great postings and a refreshing view on things. Keep up the good work!
Suggestion time...I did look for an email address for you but didn't see it.
ReplyDeleteI've been to a couple of blogs that have the "Google" specific comment section and quite frankly, I just figured out tonight that i could post a comment without having a Google account or being a fellow blogger.
I have noticed that a number of bloggers utilize "Haloscan" or "Typekey" and perhaps those are easier to utilize for posting comments.
Anyway, I'm glad I figured it out but I wonder if there are others who don't comment due to not quite understanding the "Google/Blogger vs. Other vs. Anonymous" options?
Anyway, I thought it might be something you might want to know. : )
That's a good suggestion and I'll have to look into it. Thanks!
