Man wakes up from 19-year coma

A Polish man has woken up from a 19-year coma to find food is no longer rationed and the Communist party has lost power.

Railway worker Jan Grzebski, 65, fell into a coma after being hit by a train in 1988.

"Now I see people on the streets with mobile phones and there are so many goods in the shops it makes my head spin," he told Polish television.

He puts his survival down to his caring wife Gertruda.

Doctors gave him only two or three years to live after the accident.

"It was Gertruda that saved me, and I'll never forget it," he told news channel TVN24.

She is said to have moved her husband every hour to prevent bed sores.

"I cried a lot, and I prayed a lot," Mrs Grzebski said on Polsat television.

"Those who came to see us kept asking: 'When is he going to die?' But he's not dead."

When Mr Grzebski had his accident Poland was still ruled by its last communist leader, Wojciech Jaruzelski.

"When I went into a coma there was only tea and vinegar in the shops, meat was rationed and huge petrol queues were everywhere," Mr Grzebski said.

The following year's elections ushered in eastern Europe's first post-communist government.

Poland joined the Nato alliance in 1999 and the European Union in 2004.

"What amazes me today is all these people who walk around with their mobile phones and never stop moaning," said Mr Grzebski.

"I've got nothing to complain about."

Hey, I know what this is all about - he was one of the Men in Black, and he just had his memories erased.
