** Speaking as the author, there's a couple ways to look at it- the Doylist perspective is that I'm not a medical expert and screwed up, so feel free to apply MST3KMantra. From a Watsonian perspective, though, I ''can'' give you a couple of convenient HandWaves- either a bender's muscles don't decay as quickly as a normal person's (Aang was in pretty good shape after his stint as a HumanPopsicle, for example, though that could just be general Avatar weirdness) or that one of the spirits (Zhan Zheng, Agni, Roku) with an eye on Azula simply intervened to keep her in relatively good condition.- MasterGhandalf.

** With sufficient heat and fuel, you can get fire underwater. It's just very, ''very'' difficult. However, since she can already presumably make lightning, that level of heat is already possible...

** With sufficient heat and fuel, you can get fire underwater. It's just very, ''very'' difficult. difficult, for example in real-life magnesium-based fire and acetylene torches are able to burn underwater because they are so hot they actually BREAK water into hydrogen and oxygen which only provides more fuel, essentially if there is just enough heat, then its possible to BURN water . However, since she can already presumably make lightning, lighting(which is hotter than the surface of the sun) just by flicking her fingers, that level of heat is already possible...

*** Azula wanted us to believe she was comatose for a year, she might be good enough an actor to pull it off – just as planned.
*** Azula spent the entire year in the Spirit World.
