A man wakes from a ten-day coma and keeps asking for his phone, which was home the whole time. He traces the fixation to short-term memory loss, but sees something bigger: when life falls apart, we grab onto familiar things to feel normal again.
After I woke up from a 10-day coma, I kept asking the same question, have you seen my, my phone? And my stepmom told me later that every time she came into my hospital room, I'd ask where it was. And you know the funny part? My phone was perfectly fine. It was sitting at home the entire time. I just lost my short-term memory. And looking back, I think that's what our minds do when life gets turned Upside down. We grab onto something familiar, something normal, and there's something that makes us feel like the world still makes sense, like it's not upside down. And for me, it was my phone. So what's something that you fixated on during a difficult season of your life? Tell me, I want to know.
