just in case you wanted to know why I am the way I am.

cause of injury was gross ignorance in purchase followed by close proximity to and unqualified operation of highly efficient ram air fabric foils and disreguard for adequate preparation and logic manifestation with a high probability of meteorological negligence with definite severe micro-meteorological natural and common occurrences.

Feb 6, 2006 traumatic brain injury. notice the contusion and hemotoma scaring (darker spots)
frontal and temporal lobe damage.
these magnetic resonance images are from spring last year.


results were 100% recovery as far all neurological and psychological examinations are concerned.

So do you want me to spot you a few pawns?

In all seriousness, glad you fully recovered!!
I remember when that happened, saw photos
of you in the hospital, and I think your buds
even got you a hooker at one point?

I'm still working on my next move, I have not played Chess since I was in middle school. and trying not to use help from internet or friends.

as for the stripper, yeah, she was pretty hot. nurse ratchet walked in on that. not even kidding. freaking hilarious.

What about behavioral? Have you had any problems with anger? (Temporal lobe)

Anyone talk about a SPECT scan for ya? They are a lot more informative for head injuries. MRI is kinda limited.

Yes, I was told I may have temper issues, and I did while I was healing. I think they have mostly subsided now. at one point (up to 6 months after injury) I could get mad enough to break things out of anger, but it has been years now since i had a problem with that.

I have now had 18 months of Neurological, psychiatric, neuropsychiatric, intelligence tests for purpose of becing a re-certified commercial pilot. at the time of my accident I was working as a commercial pilot, I really want to get back into it.

Its fairly interesting, the neuropsych tests I have had to take. anything from 600 question multiple choice personality exams to gyroscopic control blindfolded to test inner ear connections to brain. (the things you see astronauts being trained in)
of all the tests, I am average or above for a person my age with college education. one of the things my neuropsychologist wrote on a report for me, not for the FAA was 'though patient is above average in all psychological battery exams, he cannot spell for shit"


never could spell.

Hey now!

You told me you weren't "stalker" material.
