This story grabbed me a little bit. My friends were never so direct with me after I hit my head... they'd say ambiguous things like "you seem to have lost that snap, that spark..." or "you feeling alright? You don't look too good", but they'd never just lose it like that with me.
Your injury is fairly recent, things will come back... it just takes time. Odd coming from me in light of my recent comments, but even with my frustration being where it is right now, it still takes no effort at all for me to realize that I'm in a much clearer place now than I was a year ago, let alone 4 years ago. Next time you see her, you should flip out about how bad her hair looks. Call it proactive karma.
