He is otherwise fit and healthy. He is still studying university which is a concern in itself. At the time of the accident, he ceased uni for about 7 weeks to recover and did not drive a vehicle for about 6 months under doctors advice. Has anyone else had a similar incident and if so, how long did the memory loss occur. We live in a small country area in NSW, Australia, if that helps anyone.

Thanks in advance.
