Get better Fred

Sounds like he really got his bell rung. I wasn't kidding about spending the next week(s) in a dark room with his eyes closed. A damaged brain is fertile grounds for mayhem- think seizures induced by flashing lights as an extreme example, but it does scale down from there.
He's likely to have a whole barge of wacky emotional stuff coming at him once he gets past the acute stage of this. My anxiety baseline was off the charts for months. I'd jump out of my skin at the smallest thing... fear... depression... for me the strangest thing was this feeling of deep, very sad, despair, like I'd lost a child. This for many months. It was so incongruous that I could at least recognize it as an obvious symptom and somewhat ignore it. Later, as it faded, it kind of blended in with the depression. Good times, lol.
