I had car accident at 21 broke every bone in my skinny body was in coma for a month. Lynnie, they say the brain does not regenerate. my bones all healed. was unable to walk for a year but I'm good now. no wait, I can't dance. oh crap I never could! yea so a lil forgetful but grateful for every day. don't remember presents on birthdays either. no biggie. it's my normal. sorry you have had medical troubles. but, yes it's wonderful what they can do now. and when ya can't remember it means you get to start over. so really we are what 24? yea, I'm going with that lol
