That would probably hold right up until the first time he got a sucking chest wound from a raider's bullet. After the Stimpak/Med-X/adrenaline cocktail worked through his system, the stark reality of what he'd found himself in would hit him with full force. He's not tripping on some experimental chemical or part of some elaborate fantasy, he really was on ice for 2 centuries and is now standing in the decaying ruins of his home. But that also means that his son is out there, that he's the only one left to save him, and his wife would never forgive him if he quit. When he's completed his mission and his son is safe, only then can he sit down and finish losing what's left of his mind. And it certainly helps the immersion that I'm a deadpan snarker IRL.

Look on the bright side, at least you're not an Elder Scrolls protagonist, so you didn't start the story in a prison cell or on your way to a date with the headsman's axe.
