My wife and I were having lunch in a restaurant and she, irritated, said "You haven't heard a single word I've just said!". I repeated back to her exactly what she had said for the past two minutes and said: "I heard it, it was still in the buffer".
Concussion falling from a ladder in 2002, wife fell off a bicycle in 2015 and was in the ICU for a week.

I am lucky I enjoy music or anything else for that matter.
Age 3, fell, had spasms and was on a barbiturate and anti spasmodic diet for the next 12 years.
Age 7, bounced down a tree from branch to branch, banged my head multiple times. Dazed.
Age 14, bodysurfing, was slammed head first into the hard sand. Out cold for a short period.
Age 16, fell off a moving car, fractured skull. Intensive care for a week.
Age 25, broke a bike helmet in a fall. Dazed.
Age 26, fell head first on concrete floor while trapped inside a Halloween costume. Out for a short period.
Age 27, damaged bike helmet beyond reuse. Dazed.
Now aged 58 and the cobwebs are finally starting to clear. 🙂

I feel like quoting Lewis Carroll's poem 'You are old, Father William' 😀
I clearly didn't do life properly as I've no war stories to add here 🙁

Thanks for sharing all that George. Task completion has never been a particular forte of mine; I think I still owe DEC a final report on that 100122 9 bit buffer SI qual I started back in '82...
I can still work on the solder lug based tube point to point stuff successfully, but it's those 603 SMD parts that I grit my teeth on. But the eyes and hands certainly arent what they used to be. I'm happy I can even play and sing a whole song on guitar these days, but that exercise is actually doing some good. For all of it.
Doc says I have HBP, so I'm going to measure and record. Was doing pretty good with 3-4 measures a day; today I got one. Oops. I got a scrip and looked up the side effects on some drug ratings site and I dont need any of that. Up all night? Yeah, that'd be great. Depressed with no motivation? That's just what I need any more of in this life. Brain fog? Got plenty already and so you're saying taking this'll give me more?
Looks like I'm going to be eating a shi-ton of garlic... I hope I can remember to be consistent with it to where I can see any effect in the data. Me doing something like that for a year would be a miracle. Yeah, so, I can relate to the ADHD - think I got a diag about 20 years back - the only part of which comes to recollection is my boss smiling when I told him I might be taking Ritalin...
