Stories like these are tailor-made for our current Internet moment:
Jennifer Flewellen was driving to work on Sept. 25, 2017, when her life changed forever.
Flewellen, then 35, had just dropped her three young sons off at school when she became lightheaded while on the phone with her husband, according to her mom Peggy Means.
The Michigan mother of three "veered off the road and ... hit a pole," after which she was put in a medically induced coma. She remained in a coma for five years — but then she woke up, has continued to recover, and has "completed dozens of hours of physical, speech and occupational therapy."
It's an interesting and encouraging story. Two of Flewellen's boys are now in their 20s and one is a senior in high school. Flewellen is also a grandmother to a 1-year-old girl!

Imagine missing at least 5 years of what happened in the world starting in late 2017...

I hope she’s ok and she continues to recover well.
She missed 5 years of her family growing up, but she also missed 5 years of history.................
So sad.
Some might say that at least she didn’t have to experience the negatives of the last five years. But, on balance, I wouldn’t want it to happen to me. Glad she’s recovering.
Imagine how much the country has changed in just 5 short years.............
She missed:
A giant, world-wide obedience training exercise using a coronavirus as an excuse;
A tumultuous election in which a senile ding dong was victorious;
200 cities being burned up by petulant Communists;
A jail in the nation’s capitol being turned into a gulag;
However, she still has to deal with the gulag, the ding dong, the petulant Communists, and skyrocketing prices at Waffle House.
