Sorry should have mentioned this in my last post. He probably shouldn't be driving until he gets tested for visuospatial orientation and reflexes. Laws vary by state but in Arizona I had to have a MD release and also retake the driving portion to get my driving privileges restored after my TBI diagnosis.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.

I remember when my husband told me that I was talking like a teenager. It made me cry. But I really couldn't put words together well and I couldn't follow conversations.
A concussion causes a lot of strange symptoms. Those of us that have been through it understand.
It can also change your expression of emotions, including crying easily.
If you meet with good doctors and learn more, it will help him. Try not to judge.
Just try to imagine how scary and confusing it is to be him right now.
