Sounds like this person is fortunate to be alive.
You did not mention if this person is experiencing traumatic brain injury, and the aftermath of that.

Assuming that this person does have impaired functioning and thinking, reasoning and awareness skills, we have to realize that often learned skills -- temper politeness social skills, etc -- are something this person will have to learn all over again, as if he were a small child. If his anger lets go, do not take it personally. The brain-injured person has lost their ability to have self-control in social settings.........among other things that will take awhile to come back. Memory often isn't functioning for this person.

Understanding and learning to do things are all new to him again, and it can be frustrating for both him and his family. One disturbing thing can be that such a person is completely disoriented with each environment/room change. And this disorientation can be emotionally upsetting too.

Hallo! I had person in family who died last summer because of tumor on brain. It was too late for surgery. So I don't know what to say, it was very hard for family as you know. But It is not always hard like that. My fried had tumor on brain too, and it start to grow up when she became pregnant, because of hormones. But her operation was very good and she is healthy now and baby is fine too. But she was aware of tumor much before it starts to grow, so she started with treatment on time.
Feelings are different, so one is certain, all that is hard.
