Jimenez suffered a sickening clash of heads with Arsenal defender David Luiz in a Premier League game at the Emirates Stadium in November last year.
The 30-year-old former Benfica striker was later diagnosed with a fractured skull and sat out the remainder of the season.
Jimenez returned to competitive action for the first time in Wolves’ opening Premier League game against Leicester City on Saturday, sporting a protective head gear, which he will required to wear for the rest of his career.
Jimenez has opened up on the injury for the first time and says doctors told him it was a ‘miracle’ that he has been able to return to the playing field.
"Since the first moment, the surgeons and doctors told me what happened and the risks," Jimenez said.
"Sometimes it's not what you want to hear but it's their job. They told me it was a miracle to be here.
"The bone had broken and there was a little bit of bleeding inside my brain. That's why the surgery had to be quick and it was a really good job from the doctors.
"Since the beginning, they were really supportive with me. The skull fracture took a little bit longer than we all expected to heal and it really is a miracle for me to be here with you."
"I always thought it was maybe like an ankle injury or a knee injury, and after my recovery I'll be back to do what I love to do," the Mexico international added.
"I never thought about finishing my career or stopping playing. There was a chance of that, but I was always confident I was going to return."
