My FIL fell & hit his head and broke bones in his face too. He had a very large 'knot' on the upper left side of his head & recieved 4 or 5 stitches. He has been in the hosp. since Feb 14. Today my DH was told he has aphasia. Can anyone tell me anything about aphasia?
Does it have anything to do with hearing? He was somewhat hard of hearing before but they think he is worse now (he is so bad, he can't even tell ppl if he is hearing them). After about 3 weeks he was putting his finger in his left ear & when the Dr looked, he found it was impacted with wax (I assumed they cleaned it). But I did notice that at 1st, not just his eye was black & blue because his sinus area bones were broke, it was B&B behind his ear.
