My 60 year old boyfriend had this happen on 1-4-18. Based on his doctor's report I would have let him go but his daughter was in charge and would not. He did not wake up immediately and had a trach and feeding tube. When he did wake up he would just stare at the ceiling. He went through physical therapy and 7 months later he can walk, talk, and has no trach. He has long term memory but does not have short term memory. He is living in a nursing home which should not be. Hopefully his family will find a facility for the brain injured which will work with him. Yesterday I took him out of the facility to the park. He did not remember the park but had an enjoyable time. There were months of little progress but now he is making some. His health is better and it is basically the brain. His personality is still there and he is still enjoyable to talk to. He will never work again and probably will not drive but God willing he is able to walk and talk and is still improving. He will never be the same so I am getting to know the new version of Michael.
