thankyou Fishman!
that is some useful information! Luckily, all I seem to be suffering from is some trouble following directions and sleep disturbances.
My temperment has improved and my frustration tolerance has likewise improved since I got home. But that might be because I started AA immediately. Of course, previous to starting AA, I had NO frustration tolerance....... could have been paws in action. My memory has always been poor.... I'll be curious to see if it improves the longer I'm into sobriety :-)
I, too, have heard that wet brain is irreversible. However, my s/o was told by the ER physician that I had "wet brain". But then, maybe he wasn't learned in alcoholism. I am definately going to check out those links about PAWS
I had quit using alcohol without withdrawal symptoms for a month. Then I started and within a week I was on that ventilator. Again, I had no withdrawal symptoms.
I think I can call myself "lucky".
