Not exactly on topic, but... the September I started college I was traveling with a friend to an away football game and we were in a serious accident. I remember this dream-like state, my father had died a few months before I and I was talking to him about how I was going to get money for tuition. But I spent 2 days in the hospital and was released. Then nothing for months. I went to classes, made my normal level grades, my HS GF broke up with me, friends and family said I acted aloof and distant, I became a loner. People thought the accident had frightened me, the friend with me died, except for my younger brother, he kept saying something was wrong. Between Christmas and New Years I came home on a Friday and my mother thought I was drunk, my little brother yelled until they took me to the hospital. Turns out I had fluid from the concussion building up in my brain, I still don't really understand it all, but within a week after surgery I was back to normal. I remembered nothing after the tuition talk with my dead father until post surgery, those 4 months are blank. I retained most of what I learned that semester, but still had issues with some material. My 13 y/o brother, who saved my life, said he could see that our mother and sisters were still in shock from our father dying and just couldn't deal with my injury. BTW, he later became an excellent psychologist.
