Nothing. The month does not exist in my memories.
Though I do know I "dreamt", my father was showing a business card to a doctor. But by the time I woke up my parents had already flown back home (They live outside of the country and could not stay longer due to their visa). The doctors had told them I was going to wake up so they could go home. My wife was there for when I woke up and of course called them as soon as I did.

The weird thing is though my parents were there, my father swears he did not hand a business card to anyone.

Apart from the obvious "where am I?" and "why are they all yelling at me?" (medical staff yell to keep your attention on them when you are waking up), the first clear memory I formed myself was "Why is there an English Guard (one with the red uniform and the tall black fur hat) in my room?".

It turned out I wasn't wearing my glasses and a towel dispenses looks like one of those hats to me.

Not really. My body just went through a massive trauma, so it was working really hard (together with the wonoderful medical staff) to keep me alive. So my body was busy.

Mentally I was just confused, so I have no idea if I was rested. It did feel a bit like being woken up all of a sudden, if that makes sense.

41 at the time, the cause was high cholesterol. One of my arteries was completely blocked, three others 80/90%. Combined with the cold weather (it was about 0F, or -17 C) my heart just gave up.

My high cholesterol was not caused by a poor diet or anything like that. I suffer from a decease called " familial hypercholesterolemia " which results in weird off the scale cholesterol levels.

I was kept in a coma because they had no idea what to do with my blocked arteries and a few other medical complications (lung failure due to an infection, ventilator amongst others)

I don't have any memory of the whole ordeal. For me time stopped December 30th (your body stops forming of long term memory when something this traumatic happens), and it started again on Feb. 1st.

I have a few vague memories of Dec. 31st and Jan 1st.
