Yeah, I believe he was definitely out of commission for six years...I believe it was only a few months before that he tricked Laura back to Beacon Hills. But I am guessing...don't quote me. He needed her alpha "whatever" to really start healing...pretty sure that is what he said.

My take on it, is that he mind had recovered enough to plan and manipulate as far as getting his nurse to help him. But he wouldn't have recovered like he did if not for killing Laura and taking her alpha status.
