Can Memory Loss Be Overcome? A Scientist's Journey of Recovery and Rediscovery

Almost 40 years ago, a bus ran over me leaving me with a massive concussion. After various operations, I had a stroke, together with the bus, I lost most of my memories and ability to continue in my major fields of mathematical physics and systems engineering.

[ I continued to work in fields where I could be useful at times contributie.] I still read, hoping that running a river thru my head of ideas and technical challenges might trigger some recovery. ]

Now, with some new operations and meds, my memory is beginning to recover. But I'm nagged by the starving babies of research/joint projects left lost

Of course, I had to resign from research and teaching, and disappear from a community of wonderful colleagues.

Looking over some of the quite inspiring threads in this forum, I'm hoping to participate in a new community as I learn.

Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
