Alexandra Singer taught herself to write again after spending three months in a coma (University of Manchester/PA)

A woman who spent three months in a coma is due to see the debut novel she had completely forgotten she was writing appear in print.

Alexandra Singer, 29, suffered memory loss after a near-fatal attack of cerebral lupus in 2008 and had no idea she had begun work on the book.

She was told by doctors she might never be able to walk again and spent months fighting paralysis in hospital by breathing through a tracheotomy tube.

The brain is a total mystery even to the experts...

I suffered a cerebral aneurism (stroke) ten years ago ...And nothing will instruct my brain to work the left side of my body  normally. It's not as bad as at first but you learn to adapt...also i'm happy with my lot.....

Get well soon love it will be a long road. Thumbs up
