Thanks everyone for continued messages of support and positive vibes.
Jason is having some issues I think dealing with what has happened. They are keeping him on minimum sedation and pain relief. When he is not sedated, he is lashing out verbally and physically - this is quite common I think, as his emotional response will be pretty basic - swearing and other 'anti-social' behaviour is deep rooted and not dependent on the upper brain. That's not to say that the doc's are saying he is brain damaged. Apparently he has had a CT scan (CAT scan perhaps, sorry I forget) and it's clear which is great news, but speaking to a friend with more medical knowledge than me last night, I was reassured that recent traumatic brain injuries (TBI) often produce these episodes, and more often than not it all gets better.
Couple that with Jason's natural strong will and you've got a pissed off bloke who doesn't quite know where he is yet and why he is there, and he wants to get up and go!
That's all I have for the time being, I'll keep this thread updated as and when I can. Please spare a thought also for Helen, Jason's ex-GF, who is trying her hardest to keep things together for him, whilst also being a full-time teacher.
