Answer 1

Your body has basically been shut down in a form of hibernation mode while the repairs were carried out on your brain, so the body was just kind of ticking over https://youtu.be/S4GsqFOrYKc this means that some non essential tasks and operations were shutdown or slowed down and will need to be restarted once you come out of the coma. So you would need rest after coming round, the muscles in your limbs will be unused to moving anyway so you wouldn’t be getting out of bed soon anyway.
