Great story. Interesting idea of Post concussion syndrome and the city interfering with John's Recovery. Love the angst and the teamyness. Rodney using prime/not prime to determine if John was ok.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. The prime/not prime sort of came out of nowhere. Rodney's idea, I guess. ;0)

Great fic!

Well it had to happen sometime! All those knocks on the head, those stunner blasts - and you made a fabulous story out of it.

I really liked this, as you protrayed John's confusion, frustration, and anxiety so well. And in the end, his denial nearly killed him - if not for the team being there for him, even when he didn't want them too.

A great fic, thanks for sharing.

Joanie.

Aww, thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I was actually going to go with the knee injury as the primary concern and the concussion as a secondary annoyance, but the fic just wouldn't let me do that. And it does make sense --all those knocks to the head he's taken over the years? It's a wonder the man can still walk straight! ;0)

*whew* After having lived with someone who could no longer put anything from short-term memory into long-term memory, I can safely say it's one of my worst nightmares. I'm so relieved that the Team found a solution for John! *mops brow*

Of *course* John would try to hide it! *shakes head* You really nailed it--well done!

[linziday]

Thanks! I'm glad I didn't screw up the medical details too badly-- at least not badly enough that they're glaringly obvious. It is a nightmare situation and I feel horrible for anyone going through it in real life. For John, at least, I could give him Team. :)

awesome story! as a guy who has fairly serious memory issues for exactly this reason, you got it right so well!

poor John. makes perfect sense that the city would be messing with him, the nature of the ATA interface. lovely!

Great story - well written and a spot-on John characrerization. Also very funny in places with some nice snark. Very enjoyable!

[linziday]

Thanks! I have to admit that snark is my favorite thing to write. :)
