Molly Meldrum is improving ''week by week'' but may have lasting problems resulting from his fall, a healthcare professional involved in his treatment says.
Professor John Olver, the director of rehabilitation at Epworth Hospital, where the entertainment guru is being treated, said Meldrum can only take mild mental stimulation.
''Having two close friends or family to visit is all he can cope with at this stage and only for short periods,'' Professor Oliver told Seven Network yesterday.
''We know that with the tests that we are using that he is improving week by week,'' he said.
''But there is the likelihood that there are some areas that won't return to normal.''
Meldrum, who turned 66 last month, suffered serious head injuries after falling 3m at his Richmond home on December 15.
His personal assistant and close friend Yael Cohn said it was like his brain was rewiring.
''It's been scrambled and it has to rewire itself,'' Ms Cohn told Seven Network.
''Sometimes he's aware of what's happened to him but other times he's not.''
