  • My brain never got back to normal... seriously, I now often stumble over my words and forget what I'm saying/doing... And I'll be damned if I can ever find my damn phone! I've lost it only to discover the reason I cant find it is cause Im talking to someone on it... thats right, I've spent 15 minutes searching, telling the person on the over end of the phone that I am HOLDING to my EAR that I'm getting p*ssed off case I cant find it when they point out why... Duh! xxx
