No. My memory was awful when I woke up, and it's still got some gaping holes from ~2011/12/the first couple months of 2013. I though I had gone to bed some night near xmas 2011, and now it was 2013. But it's gradually filled in over the last year. I'm a very visual person, I'll see something and be like "Oh yeah!" and a big chunk will flood back, I just need that trigger.

Actually, no. Mentally I'm all here except for some memory loss. The year prior to injury is really foggy and patchy. And my short term used to better. But otherwise I'm the same albeit more mature. I wasn't immature before, but I was thrust into a situation where I needed to be very grown up and self-controlled. I learned to how to deal with all my handicaps, and all of a sudden I had X amount of money to last 60+ years because I can't work anymore.

No, he narrowly escaped. Thank goodness too, he used to be an EMT and stabilized me while I seized on the spot waiting for the ambulance.

It was an elderly man, and thank goodness he stayed and took full blame, so I got an insurance settlement. I've never met him though, my dad wouldn't let anybody visit me when I first woke up and was at the hospital, and I live in a different city now.

LOL. My walking is far from perfect (as in I do not fill glasses all the way with liquid unless I want to spill), and I don't have full mobility or strength in my left arm. I also have dysarthria and some short term memory loss.
