It would be a horrible thing to have as you'd NEVER really recognize those folks close to you. Plus how would you fall in love? It would be like meeting for the first time, EVERY time!!!

Well, actually they did say that it was because it left a hole in that particular section of the brain where her tumor had been removed. They got really excited about the location when they tested some others and found abnormalities in that same region. They got kinda deflated when some of the others they tested were perfectly normal in the area, so it's pretty much back to square one. They are optimistic now, though, that in time they will get it totally solved.
