I've always had a fear of a brain injury that damages me but allows me to remember my underdamaged self.

Or losing the use of my body.

I remember reading Flowers for Algeron (sp?) and the concept of that book scared the hell out of me.

I know there are many inspirational stories about Quadrapeligics and brain damaged individuals or individuals that go blind. I have a fear that I wouldn't be strong enough to handle it.
