Our eldest son crashed a car & suffered a severe TBI - his prognosis was terminal they told us. Later when it was obvious he might make it & we re-trained him to walk/talk/eat etc. . .
They told us he would probably be 180 degrees from his previous self & I remember Mrs. GWN morbidly joking how he would now clean up after him self, do laundry etc...
Sonofabitch if that isn't the case 15 years later - the kid (he's over 35 now) handles all the finances for his family (loving wife & 2 grand-kiddos), is an accomplished Chef and runs a large highly technical mechanical shop that is very detail oriented.
Silver linings - Who fkn knew?
