[I know I most likely won't ever be who I was before, but as long as I heal enough to be able to work out and jump around and just remember things to a decent degree, I'll be satisfied. It's time for me to just realize I won't be as intelligent, energetic, and witty as I used to be, but I think I'm okay with that.[/QUOTE]

I assure you of this - if you take a very open approach to understanding what you are experiencing, and why the loss seems hard to accept, you will come out of this injury as an EVEN BETTER person than the person you thought got injured. I imagine that sounds like a bit of cloud 9 hopeful crap that a lot of people say when one is going through a difficult time, but having spent the last 14 months dealing with PCS (severe headaches, depression, and memory issues), this is something I am nearly convinced of.
