https://www.yahoo.com/news/man-miraculously-wakes-48-day-210200482.htmlThe next shock to the family was when his first words were, I want Taco Bell.
I didnt even know that he liked Taco Bell, Schwartz, 42, told InsideEdition.com. Turns out, that was the only thing he wanted.
Because he had feeding tubes in his throat, and had not swallowed in months, doctors and nurses were hesitant to give him water, let alone tacos.
He must have absorbed quite a blow to the head!

(13,800 posts)Perhaps his consciousness was temporarily temporally displaced, 16 years in the future.
When he returned to 2016, he was a little confused, and hungry, and didn't realize that Taco Bell wasn't his only option.

(14,944 posts)Surgery on his hand, had not eaten in 24 hours. We left the surgery clinic, Taco Bell appeared and he said that was exactly what he wanted. I went through the drive thru, bought him his whateverthehellitwas and he ate it as I drove. I had a towel strategically placed in case his body responded negatively. He usually refuses to eat junk. As far as I know he has not eaten any since. Drugs. Whatcha gonna do?
