I can remember my brother coming home from hospital when I was 3 years and 3 months old, and nothing much else prior to 1992 thanks to a drunk driver in Picton. If I meet people I knew prior to that I can summon enough framework to recreate memories. And that's it. Motor and muscle memory related things are no trouble, and facts are no trouble, but I can't do long division or calculus or hex - decimal - binary translations in my head anymore.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Jeez, Jim- how old were you when that happened?
I hate drunk drivers; hope he was severely punished.

That's interesting Jim,although not nice.I was pusher for a mate at a speedway meeting once,he had crashed the meeting before and was concused,but he reckoned he was OK,I duct tapped a steel bar down his leg and he tried racing for the day - he crashed 3 times and was taken away in the chopper.I loaded his bike and left,I didn't see him again for a few years as he did seasonal overseas work,and the race was one of the last of the year.When I met up with him again I asked how he got on after the concusion - ''oh,no problems,I'm fine now...but have lost all memories of my childhood''.I said that must be tough,but he reckoned as he didn't remember anything there was nothing to be upset about losing....dunno,it makes me sad though....Originally Posted by Jim2

I've gone on and on about this but here it is again:26. He was disqualified for a month and fined $600. Compression fractures in 4 vertebrae as well as the jellied brain.

Sorry, Jim- hadn't read about it. It goes without saying how much I'd like to break all of his fingers for him, one by one with a blunt icepick.
Oh. I said it anyway.

It amazes me how people don't really take concussion seriously.
I agree it is sad. It's disturbing to meet people you should know well and you have to do 20 questions before a vague sense of identity returns. People don't respond well to being "forgotten" either.

The instructions are simple...
Neither can I - and I don't have a good excuse
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

No need to apologise - I was kind of apologising for inflicting it on people again.
Of course the prick wrote my RC30 off into the bargain. Except he wasn't a prick, he was a poor old bloke (74) who'd retired from his business in Nelson and was moving to Whangaparoa to retire to be near family. He had a couple of wines at a mate's place in Picton about 200M from the ferry terminal. He forgot to turn his lights on (9:30pm) and that road didn't have street lights then. He went through a stop sign without pausing with his lights turned off from an unlight street into another unlight street. Shouldn't have happened but how many people have done the same when in a similar situation?
The MOT guy who attended was great and followed up every year for 5 years even though my accident was the last he attended, the old guy came and apologised to me in hospital until he cried. I think he was upset to see me strapped to a board with head and torso immobilised and pain pump being thrashed.

I used to practice that stuff every day in my job. Had a bit of a career impact, that accident did.Neither can I - and I don't have a good excuse

I'll bet it did. I've had a couple of head injuries but have no idea as to whether I 'lost' anything or not. Must be difficult to be aware of losing some ability like that.

Mine would be being about 3 or 4 years old and sitting on a wee bike with trainer wheels in our back yard in Guernsey. I think people were taking photos and it may have been a birthday present.
There was also me hiding in the hayfield at the back of the same property while Mum and Dad were looking for me... I can still remember the smell of all the hay, but can't remember the hiding that I must have got when I finally came out of there.
Deja vu? Too many cases of that to mention here.
Premanitions? (SP?)
For some reason there are two that come to mind that still haven't happened. One is that for some reason or another I'll be dead by the time I'm 40 ( mmm, not long to go now), and the other was that I would win lotto by the time I'm forty and I supposedly know what 5 of the 6 numbers are. I still by tickets each week with those five numbers and keep mixing up the 6th... no luck yet.
What does all this mean? Probably nothing, jsut live every day like it's the last.

Wow Jim, I didn't know that either! How long was the recovery?
It is unfortunate about the old chap, but honestly, if I'm driving I don't drink, simple as that. It SHOULD be that simple for everyone I reckon
This is an interesting topic for me. I can't remember anywhere near as far back as some of you. I reckon the earliest memory is the amount of fun it was to be pushed around in a pram. I can actually remember wishing that it didn't have to end (anyone want to push me round in a pram?
).
But I only seem to remember one or two memories from each major period, like I can't replay whole years or anything. I think my memory is very selective, if I don't think I'll need it, I just about completely ignore it. How does it work for you guys?
I have had a few reaccuring dreams too, one would be of a shopping mall somewhere (in SA probably), with a partially hidden entrance to a big arcade room. Another more recent one has a supernatural theme. Can't recall it clearly, but I always end up confronting or being confronted by spirits, bad and/or good... Gotta say I don't particularly like that one (I have personally experienced spirits, and it's not a nice feeling).
I believe that some feelings of De ja Veux (sp.????) come about after having dreamed of the situation before hand, as I feel I've done this in the past.

Right then. My earliest memory would be from when I was about 2. I was sitting on my Dad's lap with the scenery around me flying past. Lookin over this smooth black surface and silvery display, I could see the area ahead of us. I remember the wind pushing past my face and this incredibly loud roaring that followed us everywhere. Sometimes it would grown very loud and others be relitively quiet. To this day I still enjoy the experiance.

Interesting. Well, another early memory of mine is figuring out that the noises the 'big people' are making is how they communicate, as opposed to howling. I remember 'thinking' without words, more experiencing a flux of emotion and feeling, but not formed with words as I do now. I was sitting on the floor in our back room, and began to analyse (sp) what it all meant...
I remember these things like cinema reel, along with the feelings that go with them.
