Does any one know of someone surviving from brain damage without a frontal lobe ?
The movement is most likely voluntary. Your friend can survive the loss of a frontal lobe, but there will be changes depending on which side was removed and how much was removed. There will be weakness on the opposite side to the lobe that was removed, so if the left is gone, the right side is affected, and vice versa. Needless to say, your friend’s life will be radically different than what it was before. His speech will be affected, and his behavior will be different as well. There is a chance he may not speak, or his responses to questions or conversation will be delayed. He could also repeat what he says, and have difficulty in expressing himself. It will be a few days to weeks before your friend can really be assessed as to exactly what has been damaged, but I can tell you that your friend is not going to be the same person you used to know. I’m sorry to hear your friend has had such an accident.
