Everyone put this early confusion down to the effects of the morphine. We all assumed Thomas was okay. But when he returned home, Thomas didn't remember the house - even though he'd lived there since childhood. People tried to jog his memory about what he had been doing in the months before the crash by mentioning friends and the interests he had.

Realisation slowly dawned on the family - Thomas had lost all of his pre-crash memories. Initially this didn't faze him. The first few years drifted past as he recovered from three back fractures also sustained in the accident. He says the "emotional bubble" continued to cocoon him.
