Phineas Gage did not live a normal life.

  Well, no. But maybe he could have. He died young from a seizure that I'm guessing had something to do with his injury, and he famously became a complete asshole after his injury. But that said, wikipedia suggests that he began recovering his social skills in the years after his injury. Perhaps if he hadn't died young, he could have returned to some sort of normalcy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage#Social_recovery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage#Social_recovery

  well I think the standard for normal here is pretty low. How honest was this rat?
