Default Weird event.....

A long time friend and fan of our drag racing team had a stroke (guy is in his 30's) Tuesday and it killed a part of his brain so he has no----zip---not a bit of memory recall from Tuesday on. He remembers everything in his life up to Tuesday, but cannot recall an event or converstaion from 10 seconds ago. Has no idea why he is in the hospital, and keeps living in his Tuesday memory as the most recent.

They say he will never recover and will need to live in an assisted living center. Un-real......I'm in shock. :(
