Awarded,

Sorry to hear of your injury. You said, "I never had any neurological symptoms, but of course, my fear of developing a brain abscess, is making it hard to resume my normal life"

Worry and anxiety are a common symptom of head in juries. With the type of injury you suffered, from a statistical perspective, further problems usually develop rather quickly. You don't say what amount of time has passed other than the week of antibiotics and AEDs. It does sound like you received good care.

Let us know how you are doing. There are plenty of good people here.

My best to you.
