Dear Doctor I One and half years ago I was at home on my off day my wife came home and found out I have vomited blood on the floor and there were signs that I have try to clean the blood on the floor and gone to the bath room to vomit more blood and then I have taken a towel put it on the bed and gone for a sleep. She also call me at 11.00 AM because I was suppose to diliver her Alteration work to the cleaners which I am doing monday through friday. When she ask did you go to the clearners on her call I had told her what cleaners then she has told the address of the clearns I have told her this clearners are in a different adress and I did not go. My wife thought I was joking. When my wife found out I have vomited blood she thought cancer in my body somewhere she call a ambulance took me to the St.Francis hospital Tulsa Oklahoma emergency from there I was sent to the nuroward and to the rehab . During emegency They took a catscan found out beeding in the brain and small crack in the Skull . But there were no blood around my head no pain no wound in the head. First two weeks I cannot remember anything where am I nor I cannot remember what happen to me at home.

It is important to know in which area of the brain was a bleeding,n your case it seems that cribiform plate was the out let and came out through the nose.
Here in this area are fine nerves which have a control on smelling. so initially u had anosmia(cannot smell or detect smell) then perhaps now you are having normal smell or with some hyperosmia.(sensitive to smells).
This can go away with high doses of vitamin b12 injections (upto 1000ug/day for 4 days. If you feel better u have to continue for once a week 1000ug 1 cc in injectable form.
