Massive head injury. Coma 9 days. Lost ability to smell or taste. He has had lots of issues one is he is manic a lot. Then he self medicates. I put him on antibuse a few years back, he is always trying to get off it but I can't let him. He sees a psychiatrist and we keep a close eye on him. But, he can't seem too see calamity coming so has had injuries (fairly serious) every summer for the past 6 years. It's exhausting! |
