It takes approx. 10/12 days to recover from everyday you are on ICU. People can lose 40% muscle tone in the first ten days of a medically induced coma. I experienced a two month coma that took me eleven days to wake up from. It has taken me a considerable time to get back to ‘normal’ - It is a different normal.
