When I was nine (now 27), I was hit by a car and suffered a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) to the left temporal lobe. I was in a coma for five days; had anterograde amnesia for weeks, maybe a few months. My parents later told me that my personality changed dramatically.
I don't think many nine-year-old kids are introspective enough to know what their personality is like, and never was it mentioned that my personality reverted back to normal. I have no idea what I was like or what I would become. It's interesting to think about.
It took a long time for me to look back and think "what the hell?"
