He Could Hear Everything, But Couldn't Move Or Speak — This Man Survived Being “Locked-In” For 10 Months


Even through all that, Jake said the thing that surprised him the most during this process was “how many good people there are out there.”

“I don’t want to make myself sound like a downer or anything, but I had this grim [out]look. I didn’t really trust many people outside of my circle. And I kind of, you know, thought there was like, a bunch of shitheads and sharks out there,” Jake began,

“Throughout this whole recovery, I was essentially alone and kind of missing in the hospital. I had no family around, and I’m living in these different hospitals, and I have no one, [aside from] a bunch of healthcare people — nurses, personal CNAs, care assistants — they were so good to me. Same with the therapists, too. 

In a long-term care facility, you’re supposed to buy your own soap. And I had no finances or visitors, so they’d be like, ‘What kind of soap do you want?’ And they would get it for me. They would get balloons for my birthday.

And that carried on when I moved out of the hospital, too.”
