Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
An 81 year old Englishman had a stroke and when he awoke, the first words out of his mouth were in a
language he hadn’t spoken since childhood - Welsh.

. . . . "fortunately my wife was there and knew what I was saying and she had to translate it all. I'd
completely forgotten English.”

"Then, about two or three days later, back came all the English, so I don't know where that had hidden."

I always wake up speaking a different language also.. I think it's called Foul Language...

The bit about the Englishman is a little strange, maybe his whole life flashed infront of his eyes, went back to his childhood and stayed there when he woke up.. and started speaking Welsh(??)..

One of my patients with a head injury started tracking with his eyes on Christmas Eve. I saw him a couple of days ago and I told him to look at me and he did. The brain is an amazing organ. I thought his chances were pretty slim having that deer in the headlight stare for so long.

If I spoke my mind, I'd have been banned from C-D a long time ago.
