Georgia Scully, 23, woke from a month-long coma following a severe car accident. Though she could not speak, she could sing an entire Adele song word-perfectly, showcasing an unexpected ability amidst her injuries.
A young woman woke up from a month-long coma unable to speak but could sing an entire Adele song word perfect.
Georgia’s parents Sharon and Darren Scully, from Elland, were given emotional, practical and financial support in hospital by charity Day One Trauma Support, whose caseworker suggested Georgia’s sister Nicole, then 21, create a playlist of Georgia’s favourite songs to help her recovery. Two years on and Georgia has regained full speech and movement, but is still recovering at home with her parents, returning to the gym and catching a bus on her own for the first time. She’s also lost her sense of smell and taste.
“Thankfully for us, we had Day One Trauma Support by our side. A caseworker visited my mum on the ward during the early days. And then remained with us throughout my recovery journey. She would regularly come and see me and we could chat. Most importantly I knew she was there for my mum and dad. I can’t even begin to imagine what it must have been like for them.
“Waiting for weeks for Georgia to wake up from her coma was horrendous. This was all new to us. We hadn’t experienced anything like this before. To have someone from Day One Trauma Support to offload to was a big help. At the time you’re just numb. It was so difficult for us. I was still trying to work and get to see Georgia every day. You’d do anything for your children. It was lovely to have someone to talk to. I knew that if I needed help, Day One was there.
