I came across this by total accident. But I was drawn to it because I was in an awful car accident myself a few years ago. Thank you for sharing! Hi. I came across this by total accident.

Sure, I go on lurker mode and you pull this. Sneaky. That's a hell of a story you've got right there, Shawn. Glad you're back together. The world would be less funny and fun if you hadn't made it out. And you're right about the wife thing. The only time I passed out (from dehydration) it was my wife's voice that brought me back out.

I can't even imagine losing my entire memory. While there are things I'd like to forget in my all too short life on this planet, there are things that one holds dear like a old teddybear. Jim does have a point though, our experiences make us who we are, somewhere down the line, your brain must still remember some things, because in the short time I've read your blog and have "known" you from the Whatever, you're one hell of a guy.

(to echo several earlier posters) I can't decide if you're incredibly lucky, or incredibly unlucky, but either way, you have a wonderful wife, but must have a significant store of your own strength, to come through this with your sense of humor in tact. I'm glad you came through as you did, and hopefully that filled your quota of bad things for this life. Whoa. (to echo several earlier posters)

Or was it more like <i>Henry</i>, that Harrison Ford movie? Were you an evil lawyer before the accident? I'm kidding, Shawn, but if you can still laugh, then you haven't lost anything.

I agree, I really admire your wife for the grace and strength she displayed during the whole crisis. I'm very glad you're ok now. Memory is such a strange thing. It must feel truly odd to have so many gaps. If you don't mind my asking, what was your profession before the accident? Were you in IT then too, or was that entirely new ground for you when you did your self-study? Wow, that’s an amazing story.

Not that I have seen many so I'm pretty much talking out my butt as usual. I read what you posted and thought of how it must have felt from your wifes point of view. Maybe I'm way off but from either perspective hers or yours it makes for good story telling. I dunno man I think that story would make a good lifetime movie.
