""It is with sadness that I am reporting that my wife Wamboi was hit by a matatu(minivan) on the way to work last Thursday. Although she is recovering at Aga Khan Hospital in Mombasa now, she spent five days in the Intensive Care Unit. Wamboi has been behind me in the development of Kenpo and ASKL since the beggining, and there is no Senior BLackbelt in KKF who does not know her well. She is recovering slowly and has 90% memory loss at this time. Doctor's give her a positive report on recovering. I will keep everyone posted on her recovery over phone. I am asking everyone to wish her a speedy recovery, and please excuse me if my service to the Federation is affected.
Thank you
Master Rahh"

Please pray for Amen Rahh and his wife.

You will both be in my thoughts.
Have faith in that the human body has an amazing ability to bounce back.

Amen to that. And there's a related point: post-trauma memory loss is very, very common. Usually victims recover everything from before the traumatic incident itself. If she never remembers the accident... well, that's probably all to the good. But she almost certainly will recover her memory of what happended prior to getting struck.

As Exile said, the body heals itself and the mind protects itself.

From my own experience, I can tell you that the actual moment of truama never comes back (been there twice believe it or not) so she wont have to keep reliving that part of the accident. The degree of memory return depends on the degree of head impact sustained obviously e.g. I remember less of my youthful pushbike traffic accident than I do my later motorbike collision because in the latter I was wearing a helmet.

My thoughts and prayers are there for the borrowing :rei:.
