I do not remember anything from the morning of the day till I woke up in the hospital a few days later out of the coma. CSF can leek as you describe, as for the symptoms getting better, only time will tell. Sometimes with help the brain may rewire itself to compensate damaged areas, kind of going around the damaged areas. But the areas that may take over are not as strong as the original areas and can breakdown if under stress or another concussion takes place.

hello Sheila
thank you for your reply and info this forum and its members is helping me so much, some times the people close to us just want things to be as they were, I try to not bring them down especially for our children, they did a good job on my face so minimal scaring, and now understand that this will take time, I must concentrate on the fact that at lease, my symptoms hopefully will not get worse,unlike some of our members, but pray for a breakthrough in there treatment , but for me to understand my condition is to except it or overcome it

many thanks vini
