Marine biologist wakes up "an entirely different person" with no memory of her past life due to a rare condition.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A brilliant marine biologist has told how she woke up an "entirely different person" with no memory of her previous life because of a rare condition that causes the body to attack its own brain cells.

Fran Geall, 25, from Falmouth, Cornwall, who has a masters degree, was struck down with the auto-immune condition encephalitis, which wiped all recollection of her £50,000 (approx. $66,000) five- year university education.

As well as forgetting her time in academia, Geall said she no longer knew some of her closest relatives and friends - including her niece and her partner's family, explaining: "With people I'm told I've known for years, it can be like meeting them for the first time, which is really sad. I also feel like I'm meeting myself again, because I have absolutely no idea who I was before all this was."

"People say there's a new Fran, that I'm a different person and they're having to accept that. I'm not so sure if I like the new Fran, though," she said. "All I want is to get back to the old me, who achieved so much and built so many loving relationships."
JUDGE DENIES REQUEST TO EXTEND ORDER TO KEEP TEXAS GIRL, 9, ON LIFE SUPPORT
As "old Fran," she completed an undergraduate degree in marine biology, before being awarded a Master of Science in sustainable agriculture from Plymouth University.

Keen to work in ethical agriculture in January 2018 she landed her "dream job" working as a business development manager for an oyster company in Whitstable, Kent.

In December 2015 she had also become engaged to marry the love of her life, teacher Stacey Tonkins, 29, who she had met at university in 2014.

But her happiness was shattered in March this year when she began suffering from migraines so crippling that she was forced to stay in bed for a week.

She saw her doctor and once visited the emergency room, but doctors thought she had pulled a muscle in her neck, as she could not put her chin to her chest.

Then, one morning in March, she began having a seizure in bed and it became clear something was very wrong - prompting Tonkins to call an ambulance to rush her straight to Kent's Ashford Hospital, where she was immediately put into an induced coma.

Coming to a week later, she seemed like a completely different person.

Unable to read, walk or speak for several weeks, she is still having to relearn many basic life skills.

"Doing the simplest things, like using a computer or navigating around a supermarket have now become very difficult," said Geall. "But what is heartbreaking for me is that my intellect, which was like my superpower, is now gone, and all the years I spent learning facts and learning about the natural world has been wiped out like chalk on a blackboard."

Despite having scant memories of her life before her brain condition, fortunately, Geall said she still feels an instinctive emotional link to many of her loved ones, such as Tonkins her parents and her siblings.

But she has no recollection at all of her sisters-in-law or her niece and is now having to rebuild these relationships from scratch.

"When Stacey and my family visited me in hospital, I knew instinctively that they were people I loved, but I couldn't remember anything about them, apart from very minimal, basic details," she said. "They would show me photos of old times together and it wouldn't jog anything - it's like looking at someone else's life. I couldn't speak, I couldn't walk and I had no idea who anyone around me was or what had happened to me."

Slowly, her faculties began to return, although Geall could write before she could talk.

"I don't know why, but the first thing I was able to write down was my mum's telephone number. I couldn't remember anything, but for some reason, I could remember that," she said. "The second thing I wrote was, 'things are a jumble.' My friends and family tried to communicate by speaking and writing things down, too, but I couldn't understand anything."

Things gradually improved when Geall was given a plasma exchange 10 days after being admitted to the hospital, a procedure which replaced the white blood cells in her system that had been attacking her brain.

After that, her speech recovered and she started writing a daily diary although, sadly, it did not trigger any memories.

Discharged from hospital after five weeks, determined to get back to normal, she returned to work.

Within a few days, however, it became clear it was not going to be possible for her to stay when she had a major seizure.

"I realized then that my recovery would take a lot longer than I had imagined," she explained. "The doctors have no idea if I will ever regain my memories, so I'm living with the prospect of potentially having to relearn everything I ever knew."

Now based in Falmouth, near Geall's family, who are helping to support her and her fiance, the marine biologist - who once spent a few years studying in the seaside town - is putting all her energy into her recovery

"When I'm out people will sometimes come up to me and say hello, as they recognize me from when I lived here before," she said. "Obviously, they don't know what I've been through. I have no idea who they are, but still smile and pretend to know them. We only have a brief conversation, so they're usually none the wiser. If I talk to anyone for longer, they can usually tell something isn't quite right, so I tell them what happened."

Luckily, Geall has not lost her hunger for knowledge and is now reading up on everything she learned at university, keen to retain it - although she can only study for short periods, as the mental exertion can trigger seizures.

As doctors have no idea what caused her encephalitis, a condition which still frequently baffles the medical profession, Geall often blames herself for what has happened.

"In a way, I feel like it's my fault," she said. "There's no logic to that whatsoever, but if I tell myself that it's just unfair, it puts me into a spiral of depression. Telling myself that there was some reason behind it lets me think that I can somehow get better and move on, even though no one seems to know if I'll ever have my memory back."

Although the future remains uncertain, Geall is delighted when people tell her they still see signs of the person she used to be.

"People say that I used to crack a lot of jokes, and I'm starting to do that again now," she said. "But I suppose when you're in a situation like mine, what else can you do?"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority official says a man fell to his death when he attempted to ride an upward Metro escalator in a motorized wheelchair.

Metro spokeswoman Sherri Ly tells news outlets the man called for an elevator at the Columbia Heights Metro station Wednesday afternoon before quickly boarding the escalator. She says he had nearly reached the top of the escalator when he fell backward, landing at the bottom.

Ly says the man was taken to a hospital where he was declared dead. She says his name isn't being released pending the notification of his family.

She says the elevator was working. A recent Metro report says elevator availability for the last fiscal year was 97 percent. But many people with disabilities disagree, citing frequent breakdowns.

US and Russian astronauts make a ballistic re-entry into Earth's atmosphere after the rocket fails.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin made a dramatic escape after their Soyuz booster rocket failed just two minutes after launch Thursday

After blasting into the sky from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the crew was forced to make a dangerous "ballistic re-entry" into Earth's atmosphere.

Ballistic re-entry uses atmospheric drag to slow the spacecraft and can expose crewmembers to G-forces 10 times great than those on Earth, according to New Scientist. Popular Mechanics describes ballistic re-entry as "steep and short" compared to the long, flat profile of a "controlled descent."
US, RUSSIA SPACE CREW ABORTS MISSION AFTER BOOSTER FAILURE
If the capsule loses orientation during ballistic re-entry it could expose its hatch, as opposed to its heat shield, which would kill the crewmembers, says Popular Mechanics. For this reason, the Soyuz capsule rotates on its axis of trajectory during descent to boost stability (similar to a bullet fired from a rifle), it adds.

The rescue capsule landed safely in the steppes of Kazakhstan Thursday. While the crew endured higher than normal G-force, Russian and U.S. space officials say they are in good condition.

Oleg Orlov, the head of the Institute for Medical and Biological Problems, Russia's top space medicine research center, said in televised remarks that the astronauts endured six Gs during the sharp ballistic descent. He added that space crew is trained to endure such load.

Normal Soyuz returns have G-forces of about five.

Popular Mechanics reports that Thursday's launch is the fourth time that a ballistic re-entry has occurred in the Soyuz program. The re-entry method has been used successfully on each occasion, it says.

In 2008, a Soyuz spacecraft carrying NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson made an unplanned ballistic re-entry on its return to Earth from the International Space Station. The three-person crew was subjected to gravity forces of about eight times Earth's gravity for up to two minutes.

NASA'S PARKER SOLAR PROBE GETS CLOSER TO 'TOUCHING THE SUN'

In an audio recording released by NASA in 2008, Whitson described the spacecraft's descent as "pretty dramatic." Images show the Soyuz-FG rocket booster lifting the Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft high into the sky before Thursday's mission was abandoned. In a tweet, Russian space agency Roscosmos said an emergency rescue system was activated when the booster rocket failed.

Hague and Ovchinin were scheduled to dock at the International Space Station six hours after launch.

UNITED LAUNCH ALLIANCE PREPS FOR THE RETURN OF MANNED SPACE MISSIONS FROM CAPE CANAVERAL

Russia has set up a state commission to investigate the Soyuz booster rocket failure.

"NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine and the NASA team are monitoring the situation carefully," said NASA, in a statement released early Thursday. "NASA is working closely with Roscosmos to ensure the safe return of the crew. Safety of the crew is the utmost priority for NASA. A thorough investigation into the cause of the incident will be conducted."

Since the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011, the U.S. has been relying on Russian Soyuz rockets, launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, to get astronauts to the Space Station.

NASA, however, is planning to launch manned missions from U.S. soil in the coming years. The space agency recently announced the nine astronauts that will crew the test flights and first missions of the SpaceX Crew Dragon and Boeing CST-100 Starliner spacecraft.

The safety of astronauts and launch pad personnel is critical to the space program. Private space company United Launch Alliance, for example, has worked with Terra-Nova Zipline to build an Emergency Egress System (EES) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 41. By using special zipline-style cables astronauts and ground crew can quickly evacuate the Crew Access Tower in the event of a launch pad emergency, such as a fire.

The cables can transport up to 20 people to a landing zone more than 1,340 feet from the Tower, according to ULA. An armored vehicle will be parked at the landing zone ready to drive the astronauts and ground crew to safety.

Space Launch Complex 41 will be used for launch the Boeing CST-100 Starliner spacecraft atop a ULA Atlas V rocket.

Elon Musk's hyperloop idea is closer to becoming a reality.

Despite the uproar over the embattled billionaire's settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission over his tweet last month that he is taking Tesla private, his dream of revolutionizing public transportation in finally taking off -- by other parties.

This week, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) unveiled its first full-scale passenger capsule, offering the world a glimpse at what the future of travel may look like.

The capsule, which is 105 feet long and weighs 5 tons, was unveiled in Cadiz, Spain, on Tuesday.

The tube-like transportation system, billed as "an airplane without wings," is designed to transport people through low-pressure steel tubes at a speed of 620 miles per hour, which roughly matches a typical passenger aircraft.

Named the Quintero One, the new system is made almost entirely out of composite material and will be moved to Toulouse, France, for additional assembly before it's tested, the company said.

Hyperloop's technology gained popularity in 2013, after Musk first introduced his vision for a futuristic mode of tube-based transportation. While he said he didn't have any plans to execute the idea because he remained focused on SpaceX and Tesla, his idea prompted several companies to join the race in creating a high-speed transportation system.

JumpStarter Inc. eventually created HTT, a Culver City-based California company, to develop the hyperloop.

Musk's hyperloop company, Boring Company, recently received "verbal government approval" to build a hyperloop capable of ferrying passengers between New York and Washington, D.C., in 29 minutes.

And while HTT is based in the U.S., it is currently focused on developing routes in countries such as China, UAE, Spain and France. However, the Los Angeles area is emerging as a hyperloop center with other competitors such as Arrivo and Virgin Hyperloop One also having their bases there.

"In just five years we have solved and improved upon all of the technology needed for Hyperloop with our new levitation system, vacuum pumps, batteries, and smart composites," HTT's CEO Dirk Ahlborn said in a statement. "This capsule will be a part of one of the most efficient transportation systems ever made."

Crews still looking for 4 missing in West Texas floods

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Search crews are looking for a fourth day for four people missing since a West Texas recreational vehicle park was overrun by raging floodwaters.

Kimble County Sheriff Hilario Cantu said the search resumed Thursday morning along the South Llano (LA'-noh) River in Junction, a town about 140 miles (225 kilometers) west of Austin.

Three men and one woman were swept away early Monday while staying at the RV park, after heavy rain late Sunday.

Cantu said the searchers remain hopeful and that it is still a search and rescue operation.

Searchers have used a helicopter, drone and crews in boats and walking the river banks as the search extends from the RV park to 35 miles (56 kilometers) downstream as the South Llano River becomes the Llano River.

Kanye West is going to the white house on Thursday to discuss gang violence and prison reforms. Thank you Kanye, Very Cool.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Kanye West - one of President Trump's most famous and vocal supporters - will meet with the president at the White House on Thursday to discuss matters including prison reform and gang violence.

The Chicago-raised rapper and the New York real estate mogul-turned president have a long friendship that goes back before Trump's presidency.

When West declared in 2015 he would run for president in 2020 during a 2015 VMAs acceptance speech, Trump, then just a presidential candidate, was not phased, and welcomed the competition.

"I hope to run against him someday," Trump told Rolling Stone magazine.

Trump also defended West as a "nice guy" and "actually a different kind of person than people think."

"He's said very nice things about me in the past ... extremely positive things," Trump said.

A year later, West visited the then president-elect at Trump Tower in New York in December 2016.

"We've been friends for a long time," Trump said at the time. He said the bombastic pair discussed "life."

West later said online that he met with Trump in 2016 "to discuss multiracial issues" such as "bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculum and violence in Chicago."

"I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change," he said in the since-deleted tweets.

West has received a lot of backlash from fans and his fellow celebrities for his support of the president including a recent slew of criticism from several members of "Saturday Night Live" who bashed West after going on a pro-Trump rant at the end of the show earlier this month.

"What Kanye said after we went off the air last week was one of the worst, most awkward things I've seen here, and I've seen Chevy Chase speak to an intern," "SNL" star Pete Davidson joked in a skit the following week.

West explained to the New York Times in June why he supports Trump, saying there are many more Trump supporters in Hollywood who are just afraid to come forward.

"There were people who said Trump would never win," West said in the interview. "I'm talking about the it-will-never-happens of the world, people in high school told you things would never happen."

West said he had been an underdog his entire career, and that drew him to Trump, a man who many felt could never win the presidency. He claimed the two shared "dragon energy."

"I felt that I knew people who voted for Trump that were celebrities that were scared to say that they liked him," he said. "But they told me, and I liked him, and I'm not scared to say what I like. Let me come over here and get in this fight with you."

The star went on to describe breaking free of the "mob-thought" that made him feel obligated to support Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election because of his celebrity and status.

Trump returned the love at a campaign-style rally in Michigan in April.

"Kanye West gets it," Trump said. "When he sees that African-American unemployment is the lowest in history, you know people are watching. That's a very important thing he's done for his legacy."

Trump also returned the accolades tweeting in April, "Kanye West has performed a great service to the Black Community - Big things are happening and eyes are being opened for the first time in Decades - Legacy stuff."

Entire fleet of F-35's grounded

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The U.S. military has grounded its entire fleet of F-35s in the wake of one of the planes crashing in South Carolina two weeks ago.

As a result of an initial investigation, the 245 F-35s being used in the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps will be grounded in an operational pause so inspections can be carried out to see if "a suspect fuel tube" in the plane's engine has been installed.

Staff Sgt. Corey Hook/U.S. Air Force

"The US Services and international partners have temporarily suspended F-35 flight operations while the enterprise conducts a fleet-wide inspection of a fuel tube within the engine on all F-35 aircraft," according to a statement issued by the Department of Defense. "If suspect fuel tubes are installed, the part will be removed and replaced."

A U.S. official says only half the current fleet of aircraft have the fuel tube, but inspections will be carried out on the entire U.S. fleet.

The temporary suspension of flight operations will also impact international partners, such as Israel, that have the F-35. There are 75 F-35s in the international fleet.

The wide-ranging grounding of the entire fleet comes after a Marine F-35B joint strike fighter went down in Beaufort, South Carolina, on Sept. 28. The Marine pilot safely ejected from the plane.

Kensley Crosby/AP, FILE

"The primary goal following any mishap is the prevention of future incidents," according to the statement. "We will take every measure to ensure safe operations while we deliver, sustain and modernize the F-35 for the warfighter and our defense partners."

The DOD said in the statement that if "good fuel tubes are already installed, then those aircraft will be returned to flight status."

Inspections are expected to last a day or two, the department said.

Hurricane Micheal is the third-most powerful hurricane in recorded history to lash the U.S. mainland.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As dawn broke over Panama City, Florida on Thursday, the stunning scope of Hurricane Michael's rampage began to come into view, a sprawl of almost unimaginable destruction wrought by the third-most powerful hurricane to strike the U.S. mainland in recorded history.

Michael is now a tropical storm and, as of Thursday morning, was pushing its way across South Carolina -- while also lashing North Carolina and Virginia with strong winds and heavy rains amid a tornado threat.

Hurricane Michael made landfall around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, just north of Mexico Beach, as a Category 4 storm with 155 mph winds. The storm blasted the Florida Panhandle and southwest Georgia with devastating winds and killed at least two people.

In Panama City, located just west of where the monster storm made landfall, drone video taken by storm chaser Brett Adair shows what the ferocious winds did to a middle school.

Jinks Middle School took such a hit from the hurricane that Adair was able to fly the drone right through the school's gym, where Michael's fierce gusts peeled back the roof of the building and caused walls to collapse.

But even with debris scattered across the basketball court, a volleyball net remained up, not blown away by the hurricane.

Elsewhere in Panama City, downed power lines, uprooted trees, and buildings with roofs peeled away or split open by fallen trees littered the landscape. As of Thursday morning, over 359,300 customers are without power in Florida.

Vance Beu, who was staying at an apartment complex with his mother, told the Associated Press the storm had "super high-pitched" and sounded like "a jet engine was coming."

"It was terrifying, honestly. There was a lot of noise. We thought the windows were going to break at any time," he told the AP.
HURRICANE MICHAEL'S HEALTH RISKS: 3 THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR
Rescue workers will spend Thursday going through the wreckage of homes in neighborhoods where people did not evacuate before Michael slammed the area. FEMA administrator Brock Long told " FOX & friends" on Thursday that crews were only able to do "limited" search and rescue operations before nightfall.

"We are worried about the damage once we see sunrise," he said.

So far, the storm's deaths have included a man in Florida killed by a fallen tree when it ripped through his home's roof and an 11-year-old girl in Georgia, who died, when a car or boat port went airborne onto the family's mobile home.

Rick Reichmuth, Fox News' chief meteorologist, said Michael was the fourth most powerful storm to ever make landfall in the U.S. regarding wind, and the third most powerful in terms of pressure, at 919 mb. It was the first storm of its magnitude to make landfall in the Panhandle since record-keeping began 1851.

Family holds sit in at Domino's for "stone cold food" that they were given.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Though some pizza aficionados prefer the beloved dish cold, one British family was so frustrated with the belated delivery and "stone cold" temperature of their Domino's order, they staged a lengthy sit-in protest at the fast casual chain, which ultimately ended with police intervention.

On Oct. 5, Fay James and her family were upset when their Domino's meal of a "medium pizza, chicken strips, garlic pizza bread, two lots of doughballs and wedges" was delivered to their home in Gloucester, Western England, over an hour after they had placed the order, Gloucestershire Live reported. Making matters worse, the mom reported that the food was "stone cold," though the family lives just eight minutes away from the restaurant's location.

WAFFLE HOUSE CLOSED 30 LOCATIONS AHEAD OF HURRICANE MICHAEL
James said that attempts to speak to the delivery driver were unsuccessful as he "just walked off," prompting her to spend 45 minutes on the phone with the Domino's store in hopes of coordinating for a replacement order to be sent, to no avail, The Sun reported.

Taking matters into her own hands, James and her family went to the Domino's location to demand a replacement or refund of the $28 order.

"My husband dropped the boxes on the counter but the manager refused to speak to us," James told Gloucestershire Live of the scene. She proceeded to wait an hour and a half in the store for answers, with her 10-year-old daughter in tow.

Finally, around 11 p.m., the manager threatened to press the panic button to call authorities if the family did not leave. And so she did. When police arrived on the scene, the unnamed female manager claimed the James' were "aggressive, abusive and had caused damage to the door," the outlet reported.

After a heated argument, law enforcement officials told the manager to refund the family's order, though James says she's not sure if the money had returned to her account just yet.

Though reps for Domino's did not immeditatly return Fox News' request for comment, a spokesperson did offer Gloucestershire Live the following statement:

"We apologize for any upset caused to our customer and her family. We have issued a refund and some complimentary vouchers as a gesture of good will, which have been accepted," they said. "We have also reminded our team members of the high standard of service required at all times."

Yum! Brands is making amends after a KFC-Taco Bell staffer refused to serve a North Dakota state trooper, by issuing an apology and offering to cater a free lunch for the police department's regional office.

Over the weekend, a North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP) officer stopped at a dual KFC and Taco Bell restaurant in Devil's Lake during his lunch break, WDAZ reports. According to the outlet, the trooper was denied service after the unnamed staffer refused to take his order.

A brilliant marine biologist has told how she woke up an "entirely different person" with no memory of her previous life because of a rare condition that causes the body to attack its own brain cells.

Fran Geall, 25, from Falmouth, Cornwall, who has a masters degree, was struck down with the auto-immune condition encephalitis, which wiped all recollection of her £50,000 (approx. $66,000) five- year university education.

As well as forgetting her time in academia, Geall said she no longer knew some of her closest relatives and friends - including her niece and her partner's family, explaining: "With people I'm told I've known for years, it can be like meeting them for the first time, which is really sad. I also feel like I'm meeting myself again, because I have absolutely no idea who I was before all this was."

"People say there's a new Fran, that I'm a different person and they're having to accept that. I'm not so sure if I like the new Fran, though," she said. "All I want is to get back to the old me, who achieved so much and built so many loving relationships."
JUDGE DENIES REQUEST TO EXTEND ORDER TO KEEP TEXAS GIRL, 9, ON LIFE SUPPORT
As "old Fran," she completed an undergraduate degree in marine biology, before being awarded a Master of Science in sustainable agriculture from Plymouth University.

Keen to work in ethical agriculture in January 2018 she landed her "dream job" working as a business development manager for an oyster company in Whitstable, Kent.

In December 2015 she had also become engaged to marry the love of her life, teacher Stacey Tonkins, 29, who she had met at university in 2014.

But her happiness was shattered in March this year when she began suffering from migraines so crippling that she was forced to stay in bed for a week.

She saw her doctor and once visited the emergency room, but doctors thought she had pulled a muscle in her neck, as she could not put her chin to her chest.

Then, one morning in March, she began having a seizure in bed and it became clear something was very wrong - prompting Tonkins to call an ambulance to rush her straight to Kent's Ashford Hospital, where she was immediately put into an induced coma.

Coming to a week later, she seemed like a completely different person.

Unable to read, walk or speak for several weeks, she is still having to relearn many basic life skills.

"Doing the simplest things, like using a computer or navigating around a supermarket have now become very difficult," said Geall. "But what is heartbreaking for me is that my intellect, which was like my superpower, is now gone, and all the years I spent learning facts and learning about the natural world has been wiped out like chalk on a blackboard."

Despite having scant memories of her life before her brain condition, fortunately, Geall said she still feels an instinctive emotional link to many of her loved ones, such as Tonkins her parents and her siblings.

But she has no recollection at all of her sisters-in-law or her niece and is now having to rebuild these relationships from scratch.

"When Stacey and my family visited me in hospital, I knew instinctively that they were people I loved, but I couldn't remember anything about them, apart from very minimal, basic details," she said. "They would show me photos of old times together and it wouldn't jog anything - it's like looking at someone else's life. I couldn't speak, I couldn't walk and I had no idea who anyone around me was or what had happened to me."

Slowly, her faculties began to return, although Geall could write before she could talk.

"I don't know why, but the first thing I was able to write down was my mum's telephone number. I couldn't remember anything, but for some reason, I could remember that," she said. "The second thing I wrote was, 'things are a jumble.' My friends and family tried to communicate by speaking and writing things down, too, but I couldn't understand anything."

Things gradually improved when Geall was given a plasma exchange 10 days after being admitted to the hospital, a procedure which replaced the white blood cells in her system that had been attacking her brain.

After that, her speech recovered and she started writing a daily diary although, sadly, it did not trigger any memories.

Discharged from hospital after five weeks, determined to get back to normal, she returned to work.

Within a few days, however, it became clear it was not going to be possible for her to stay when she had a major seizure.

"I realized then that my recovery would take a lot longer than I had imagined," she explained. "The doctors have no idea if I will ever regain my memories, so I'm living with the prospect of potentially having to relearn everything I ever knew."

Now based in Falmouth, near Geall's family, who are helping to support her and her fiance, the marine biologist - who once spent a few years studying in the seaside town - is putting all her energy into her recovery

"When I'm out people will sometimes come up to me and say hello, as they recognize me from when I lived here before," she said. "Obviously, they don't know what I've been through. I have no idea who they are, but still smile and pretend to know them. We only have a brief conversation, so they're usually none the wiser. If I talk to anyone for longer, they can usually tell something isn't quite right, so I tell them what happened."

Luckily, Geall has not lost her hunger for knowledge and is now reading up on everything she learned at university, keen to retain it - although she can only study for short periods, as the mental exertion can trigger seizures.

As doctors have no idea what caused her encephalitis, a condition which still frequently baffles the medical profession, Geall often blames herself for what has happened.

"In a way, I feel like it's my fault," she said. "There's no logic to that whatsoever, but if I tell myself that it's just unfair, it puts me into a spiral of depression. Telling myself that there was some reason behind it lets me think that I can somehow get better and move on, even though no one seems to know if I'll ever have my memory back."

Although the future remains uncertain, Geall is delighted when people tell her they still see signs of the person she used to be.

"People say that I used to crack a lot of jokes, and I'm starting to do that again now," she said. "But I suppose when you're in a situation like mine, what else can you do?"
