Keep in mind that there is therapy and there are things to keep his mind and hands active in a positive way. Smokers do better at stopping when they can keep their hands occupied. The video games do this but in a very limited way.

If he is so adverse to doing therapy, it will be a struggle for him to start making good choices with his brain health in mind. You may need to let him screw up or fail enough to get the idea of needing to accept his injury.

Today has been a head ache and foggy brain day, what I call a mud head ache. It feels like my head is packed with mud.
