On the other hand, she had no recollection of anything in between but seemed to very well recall what was recently happening before she fell into that state. Mentally what we'd call a coma even if her body was not at the level of a vegetable. Intriguing story either way.

Steve Wozniak mentions this happening to him after a plane crash. Where he had a period where he didn't form permanent memories, and when that passed and he was able to, it was as if he awoke from a coma, even though he was functioning and interacting with people during this time. Think if the Memento (kinda based on a real case) guy suddenly regained the ability to hold memories, he would "awake" and to a period years later.

Perhaps something like this happened, where she was "around" and "interacting" but regained the ability to store memories and thus she "awoke".

No, "mentally what we'd call a coma" would involve being unconscious. Remembering anything is well beyond the bounds of a coma.
