What does Doki Doki mean, and why might a person with a TBI occasionally forget she has a daughter?

"Doki Doki" is an onomatopoeic term in Japanese, used to represent the sound of a heartbeat. In Japanese, the word for heart is "kokoro," and the repeating of "doki" creates the rhythm of a heartbeat, mimicking the sound of a pounding heart. It is often used to describe the feeling of excitement, nervousness, or anticipation that one might experience in certain situations, such as when meeting someone special or during thrilling moments in a story or game. In popular culture, "Doki Doki" has been incorporated into various Japanese media, including anime, manga, and video games, to evoke emotions related to love, suspense, and excitement. Doki Doki can also mean “thump thump”.

In the not too distant future in the Nobody’s Property Universe, as language evolves from using the word sh*t to spank as a swear, some people use the term “batspank doki doki” in place of the present day “bat sh*t crazy”

A person with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), such as Clia, may occasionally forget she has a daughter due to the impact of the injury on her cognitive functions. TBIs can cause various cognitive impairments, including memory problems, attention deficits, and difficulty with information processing. Depending on the severity and location of the brain injury, different aspects of memory can be affected.

The injury may disrupt the formation or retrieval of memories, making it challenging for the person to recall important information, such as the existence of her daughter. Additionally, the injury might cause confusion or disorientation, leading to moments of forgetfulness or temporary memory lapses. It is also possible for the person to experience post-traumatic amnesia, where memories of events occurring before or after the injury may be fragmented or missing.

Furthermore, emotional factors can influence memory retention. A traumatic brain injury can lead to emotional disturbances, and a person might temporarily block out certain memories as a coping mechanism to protect themselves from distressing emotions related to the injury or other life events.

It is crucial to understand that the effects of a traumatic brain injury can vary greatly among individuals, and the specific memory impairments experienced can depend on the extent and location of the injury. Rehabilitation and support from healthcare professionals, family, and friends can play a vital role in helping individuals with TBIs manage their memory challenges and cope with the impact on their daily lives.
