If you don't mind me asking, what's your subject area? I'm married to a professor.

When your whole life in based on your cognitive abilities and, driven by your intellectual curiosity, I am sure that it is exceptionally difficult to come to terms with a TBI. A brain injury is a challenge to every patient's sense of self,but that must be doubly true when your identity is so inextricably entwined with your intellect.

I feel for you.
