Hello,

The symptoms that you are reporting about your wife is commonly found in patients who have had a traumatic brain injury. Some patients recover fully but most of the patients end up having residual deficits in their neurological functions which may recover slowly over time or may not recover at all.

This also depends upon how severe was the bleed and which part of the brain was injured. I would suggest going to an occupational therapist and a speech therapist for her rehabilitation. These will definitely help in improvement of her symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Raunak, Orthopedic Surgeon
