Toronto couple documenting memory loss journey is real life '50 First Dates' movie Toronto Couple
While these seconds-long moments can bring a few laughs, it's an extremely vulnerable moment that Pillay and JJ have decided to publicly share.
"You can't exactly mail people announcements that say 'Surprise! It's a traumatic brain injury!'" she said."Since then, I've been sharing because my ability to help and connect with others has given me a sense of purpose." The connection she has with other people who also have traumatic brain injuries has given Pillay a sense of purpose, as she finds there are often many things people don't know about brain injuries and recovery.
"While there may be a team of doctors during your initial injury, once it's determined that you're alive and not dying in the immediate future, you're left on your own," she explains."You're left to sift through your remaining memories and piece your life back together."
