This is the tragic story of a mother who has recently woken up from her coma with zero memory and a rare medical condition.
According to local media reports, the mother doesn’t remember a single thing. And that includes her loving husband her daughter as she assumes that she’s a 9-year-old child herself.
Anne Howell was a journalist for a magazine and a newspaper. She was reportedly working in Sydney. But after a while, she began to notice that something was not quite right with her health.
At that point in time, she paid a visit to the doctor’s office and that’s when she realized that she had a rare medical condition.
She happened to be pregnant at the time and that’s when medical experts spoke about the rare defect seen on the outside of her brain.
It was the most horrifying news any pregnant woman could receive. Hence, she agreed to neurosurgery that was 12 hours long and she hoped it was good enough to save her life.
But during the surgery, she was forced to undergo some complications. And that included a case of retrograde amnesia. She would be losing her memory.
It was just a very rare condition and it reportedly lasted for an entire decade. During that really tough period, she just couldn’t recognize anyone out there. Nothing she saw was familiar and that included her own loved ones.
She thought she was a 9-year-old girl and it was hard to make her realize that no, that was not the truth. She failed to connect the dots together and it was clear that this would be her new life, whether she liked it or not.
Her extraordinary story has become the talk of the town ever since she opted to go public with it in the form of a ‘tell-all memoir’ that sheds light on her life’s greatest battle. And the book called, ‘All That I Forget’ has turned out to become a bestseller.
