I'm pretty sure that I read something on this site that said it would take at least a year. From what I have read on my own about what happened to him, to expect complete recovery (or at least good enough to perform, which would take complete recovery I guess) within a year is highly optimistic. Remember, I bet that 90% or better of all people this happens to die instantly or very soon there after. He's doing pretty good in my book, assuming he is still okay. I am just really curious how he is doing and handling all of this. I guess when they want us to know something, they will tell us but I'm not holding my breath.
