Answers:

Actually Dan H, I would guess every sentence you wrote is an assumption, except hopefully not the last one. Full disclosure might better include why you feel so justified coming to a category you don't frequent and being hostile.

Jennifer, in my career as a neurologist, most young men I saw with the degree of trauma you describe had a lot of memory back in a week or less, though not for a period of time around the injury, which can be a permanent loss. Of course it can take a lot longer.
