[QUOTE="Timescape, post: 22217, member: 437"] [b]Re: Bedtime for Democracy[/b] [b]HUTCHINSON, Kan. ? For 20 years, Sarah Scantlin has been mostly oblivious to the world around her ? the victim of a drunken driver who struck her down as she walked to her car. Today, after a remarkable recovery, she can talk again. Scantlin's father knows she will never fully recover, but her newfound ability to speak and her returning memories have given him his daughter back. For years, she could only blink her eyes ? one blink for "no," two blinks for "yes" ? to respond to questions that no one knew for sure she understood. "I am astonished how primal communication is.

She asked Betsy Scantlin if she was sitting down, told her someone wanted to talk to her and switched the phone to speaker mode: "Hi, Mom." "Sarah, is that you?" her mother asked. "Yes," came the throaty reply. "How are you doing?" "Fine." "Do you need anything," her mother asked her later. "More makeup." "Did she just say more makeup?" the mother asked the nurse.
