As someone who has experienced multiple brain traumas, I do have feelings there too. Different impacts have had different results. Falling 20ft and cracking my skull on concrete left me seeing everything in a hue of orange for a couple of years. Getting my face crushed by a car left me feeling strange all in the front. Getting shot in the head was so strange, it's like the back part of my brain still hurts. Especially when I try to remember certain things.
are you immortal?
or a cat with 6 lives left?
Do you work for arpeture science or something?
Dude ia a gta character
What the fuck are you doing in your life and have you thought about not doing that?
The 20 ft fall was bullies in school about 30 years ago. Getting my face crushed was a drunk driver running a stop sign. I was on a motorcycle wearing a helmet, but the helmet didn't help. Getting shot. I still don't know. I got robbed and gave him what he wanted, but I guess he just wanted to shoot someone and I happened to be it.

I have a feeling the motorcycle helmet helped more than you realize. Because you're still alive.
Looking back, the fatal mistake was not tightening the chin strap properly. I was told later that my bloody helmet was found a little past the accident.
Yikes So the impact tore the helmet off your head, and your head got run over by a car? yeah I think you're a cat with nine lives. Glad you're still with us.
That's exactly what happened. I was wearing a half helmet anyways, so I was pretty much fucked already. When I saw her come thru the stop sign, I had exactly enough time to say "oh shit" and throw my right arm in front of my face. They dug 8 of my teeth out of my arm. She was driving a Pathfinder SUV which was tall enough that I somehow went under it and she drove over my head. I still vividly remember laying in the road for close to a half hour spitting blood so I wouldn't drown and thinking about my kids. I had my jaw wired shut for 6 months and learned with missing teeth, you can put a straw thru and suck Thanksgiving dinner out of a blender. Damn that. MF shot me in the back of the head with a .38 and that's been a whole new world of fun..
Crashed into a car with my bike with no helmet (always wear a helmet people!) and lost all memory. My head hurt for a year afterwards when I tried to read something. Years later, the patch is still numb to the touch, and causes a sensation of stinging in one eye, it causes tears if I rub it.
