A Woman Awakes From Five-Year Coma Only To Request To See Bob Seger And She Did Just That

A woman wakes up from a five-year coma and the first thing she says is that she wants to see Bob Seger in concert.

Evie Brennan was 74-years-old when she had a massive stroke inside her home at Flint, Mich. The stroke put her into a semi-comatose state. She was unable to eat, move or speak on her own, according to Associated Press (AP). Brennan needed assistance for everything she did.

It was one lucky day in 2011 at the Willowbrook Manor care facility, Brennan attempted to go to the bathroom on her own. She slipped and fell on her head. Apparently that blow to the head snapped out of the coma.

"My memory started coming back, not all at once, just gradually. But they said when I woke up one morning, the first words out of my mouth [were], 'I want to go to a Bob Seger concert,' and what made me say that I still can't figure out why," Brennan told the AP.

Nurses were ecstatic that Brennan was able to communicate on that random day. Brennan didn't remember saying it, but the nurses said she did.

"Why would I say that? Maybe my last thoughts were Bob Seger before I had my stroke," she said of her request.

Her request did come true Thursday when an administrator at the care facility, Michelle Cross was able to get VIP tickets for a Bob Seger concert.

I always want to try and help out with stories like that because Bob loves his fans," the assistant for Segar that Cross got in touch with. "It's such a cool story, I just wanted to help out in any way I could."

As a limo was arriving to pick up Brennan, she said she was really nervous to meet the music star. Branan hugged the rock icon backstage and met his family. "It's amazing. It's a thrill for us as much as it is for you, I'm sure," said Seger's wife Nita. Segar himself thanked Brennan for her inspirational story.

Branan has been doing physical therapy for the last two years since her coma and can now walk 150 steps without a walker. "Eventually I will get up on my own because I won't give up," she said. "Hopefully, people who have had a stroke read this and won't give up."
