Is this true? That's so... whoa.
Very true. A famous case, and well known around the Bay Area which is crawling with Gettys.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, all this head trauma stuff is freaking me out and I need to be elsewhere.
Which surprises me.

Sorry, ita.
David, the stuff you're quoting is the stuff that demarcates vegetables from the rest of us. The Times has been doing a series on the brain-innjured in Iraq (from Iraq, in the US now), and it's really startling the injuries people survive these days, ending up in non-vegetable format.
maybe unable to read; maybe halting in memory or easily confused or a hudnred other possible outcomes, but -- when you've seen a guy walking despite a fist-size section of his gray matter missing, you've got to be impressed at the brain's recovery abilities.

Not reading the head trauma posts/links.
Balthazar Getty looks like some bastard lovechild of Patrick Swayze and Corey Feldman. (Or Corey Haim -- whichever one was in The Goonies.)
