While there are many common threads, brain injury can sure be different from person to person.

For example, while I need prompting, I'm pretty good with the things I knew before I was hurt. I could probably tell you the plot the last movie I saw before the crash. However, I can't learn anything new and to read a book, I have to keep a little journal with character names, etc... so that I don't forget from page to page.

Everything is different now - even food doesn't taste the same. Somedays I feel like I woke up in an experiment where the aliens didn't get things quite right in their earth simulator. Then I remember, I'm the only thing that changed. Yeah, it makes me sad - but I guess it beats being probed by little green men.

Cheers
