By the end of the year he was also the victim of a rare kind of stroke to the brainstem.  After 20 days in a coma, Bauby awoke into a body which had all but stopped working: only his left eye functioned, allowing him to see and, by blinking it, to make clear that his mind was unimpaired. Almost miraculously, he was soon able to express himself in the richest detail: **dictating a word at a time, blinking to select each letter as the alphabet was recited to him slowly, over and over again.** In the same way, he was able eventually to compose this extraordinary book.\"\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Diving-Bell-Butterfly-Memoir-Death/dp/0375701214\r\n","subreddit_name":"booksuggestions","author":"felinfine8"},{"body":"Pretty sure the guy in [The Diving Bell and the Butterfly](http://www.amazon.com/The-Diving-Bell-Butterfly-Memoir/dp/0375701214) who couldn't move anything but one eyelid still had feeling in his body.\r\n\r\nSource:  I read the book and watched the movie.
