Man Awakens From 12-Year Coma, His First Words Shook Everyone

Alone With His Thoughts

According to Martin, he used to live entirely inside his thoughts, to the point that he was almost totally unaware of his surroundings. He believed that he was completely clueless to what was going on in his immediate surroundings. Everything that has taken place in my brain, even talks with other people, has taken place in my head. In his words, "I'd say I was up to my neck in a variety of various activities."

He Was Helpless

Despite the fact that it was difficult for Martin to watch his family continuing to live their lives while he was confined to his bed, there was nothing he could do to prevent this from happening. It was "very difficult" for him since he had two other younger siblings who, together with his parents, would travel on holidays without him. "I have a younger brother and sister," he stated in a previous interview with MailOnline.
