Last Monday I was in a car accident and suffered a severe concussion that didn't manifest symptoms for 24 hours (weird, I know). Since then I've periodically lost the ability to speak. I go from normal speech to slurring, to mute. Its being looked at, but the reason I made this thread is because... I realized that it is exactly like TCP packets overloading the sliding window, or a web server with limited resources getting too many requests: overload the throughput on the queue and everything after that is lost.
So I made a diagram tonight when I had a bad episode to prove I can still think.
When things are bad, and I fill the shrunken word queue, I can't speak until it self empties. Full empty seems to take between 30 seconds and one minute, and seems to happen at a linear rate. However, if I limit myself to the actual word queue/minute throughput, I can speak continuously for a longer period. Normal speed speech very quickly fills the queue though.
Strange, but accurate. If my mind is a Turing Machine, my word queue is malfunctioning and is too small to hold enough words to speak normally.
Dude! Please tell me that you've talked to a doctor and specifically gotten an appointment with a neurologist to look at this?!! PCS is VERY serious and if not properly monitored and treated shortly after the trauma, can result in irreversible damage. I speak from personal experience and have also had loved ones who had devastating consequences from not properly managing PCS.
