Hi Rugger and welcome.
Please don’t lose hope. I do consider myself a success story. I suffered a severe TBI and spent two months in the hospital. Five weeks after my accident (about the amount of time you have now) I didn’t know where I was, what year it was, who the President was, and couldn’t do simple single digit arithmetic problems. Five months later I was able to resume driving and return to work.
All TBIs are different and they heal on their own schedule. You are young, physically active and it sounds like otherwise healthy. I understand your fear, but as head injuries go you are very early in the recovery process. Best to you on this journey.
