Have any of you read Duma Key by Stephen King? The main character is a man who lost an arm, sustained a head injury and other major injuries in an accident. King does an awesome job of portraying the character's struggles with pain and memory loss.
I actually learned a memory trick reading the book. The character "thinks sideways" when his memory goes wonky on him. He thinks of things that associate with other things to bring him to the word or idea he is trying to remember.
King was severely injured back in 1999. I wonder how much of what he portrays in the book comes from personal experience and how much from research.
