How long to get recovery from intracerebral hemorrhage?

Condition analysis:
Yes, unfortunately, recovery from this kind of head injury can be long and unpredictable.

His brain sustained quite an injury, and the effects of a closed head injury such as this can honestly be seen for years. The acute phase is often a few weeks, and I hope he is getting intensive therapy (Physical, Occupational and Speech) to help him regain his functional skills.

The longer phase is the recovery phase, which can be more subtle, where he might have some lingering deficits, such as memory problems or speech problems. The best thing you can do for him is talk in simple phrases to him, be patient and remember that he's your dad underneath it all.
