    That’s… somewhat frightening?

    I had a head trauma myself, half a year ago.
    Did a head-first somersault onto the hard pavement while biking, luckily wearing a helmet.

    Lost only about 2.5hrs of memory (mostly after the accident, but some of it before).
    It really creeped me out, just not knowing what happened during that time (e.g. I talked to my wife on the phone while riding the ambulance - completely no recollection of it).

    But this ongoing memory resetting you described is a much more terrifying idea.
    How do you feel about it now?

    Aaaaand also: Do you wish the movie had rather been Groundhog Day? ;-)

      This happened about 17 years ago, so for me before menopause but not long after I’d stopped using drugs … I really took the “accept the things you cannot change” to heart, and got on with it.

      Being scared of what had happened wouldn’t help me with my life. Having a healthier respect for the frailties of my body, however, did help me avoid future injuries from hubris.

      I fell while figure skating, which is a pastime where wearing protective gear is frowned upon.

      My then-boyfriend (the last guy I would ever date) took me back to a kebab place that apparently I’d sworn was the best I’d ever tasted the week before. I had no memory of it, and the kebab I then had was mid tier at best :-/
