One day at work (IT director) start having seizures that would not stop. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital where they were unable to stop the seizures so I was put in an induced coma. Each time they tried to pull me out of the coma I would start seizing again. 61 days later they were able to successfully pull me out of the coma without seizure, it was September 11th thru November something, the day after Thanksgiving I believe, when the doctors asked me what year it was I responded, 2012. I still wake up thinking I live at my old house in San Antonio and only have one child infant (he's 8 now and has a brother), I keep forgetting I have a second child. I had to learn to walk again which I don't remember but my wife has all the pictures and videos of me in during physical therapy. When I watch them, it's surreal to me. My short term memory is non existent and I have to be reminded all the time of things. On the plus side I get to experience life sort of brand new. What caused the seizures you ask....Nothing that the doctors could ever pin down, I'm not even or was on anti seizure meds before/after my release, just bad luck I guess
TL:DR Brain seizures = 61 day coma, woke up not knowing my family and thinking that my life was in the past. When asked what year it was, responded 2012

My wife had a seizure out of nowhere. Doesn't remember anything about the day before and most of the day it happened. It's like a reset.

When they asked "Who's the President?", You answered Obama. They cried. They told you. You laughed. They said "no kidding". Then you cried.

I have epilepsy and the whole waking up not knowing the simplest things is brutal. You just feel lost. Best of luck, hang in there!

Well you know how to use memes, that has to mean something
Busterchestnut
If you only knew the countless hours wasted browsing imgur, lucky I had the mobile app icon to remind me of it
kakari
Just out of curiosity, and since you're in IT, do you happen to drink a lot of diet pop? I know folks who eat had serious memory loss w/that
Wybo
You get the last season of breaking bad back - that's something.

I know right! I found it odd that it happened on that daye but that's what my wife and boss tell me
CreepyPhlox
Oh man. Your wife can fuck with you so bad right now!
MassiveClusterFuck
Clearly it was Bush who caused them, the bastard!
RedrawUserSub
Perhaps you're a Jedi and the loss of life caused a ripple in the force that induced the seizures?
lurkeylurkeychickenturkey
I love you.
Snooj
Think of all the people who were born on that day. I wonder if they ever lie about their birth dates.
MetaSomma
No we don't. We definitely *weren't* born then. Just ask my friend
Flyndaran
Yep. People have been attacked for daring to smile or celebrate their birthdays on that day.
Flyndaran
Less so now, I think. But for the first few years after, most Americans were angry paranoid cunts about it.
littlewhiskers
My little brothers first girlfriend was born on Sept 11th, but in 1990. So the attacks happened on her golden birthday. It was weird.
KavikWolfDog
TIL what a golden birthday is. I'd never heard of that.
