I am so sorry abuot your situation. there was a while in the beginning when I would wake up and not know where I was or what day it was. that has completely gone away. I did not leave the couch in the living room for anything except to wash for weeks at a time and that is better. I see a psychiatrist and a psychologist and if there were someone else to see I would see that person too. get all the help you can for your husband. as for the drinking it is brutal on a heard injury, old or new. just a few beers and I am dizzy and sick all over again. I wish you and your husband the best.
