Ugh. How do you feel?
My 70 year old dad was in a really bad bicycling accident this past summer. Scary ****. I went to the trauma center a few hours after to see him. He’d ask the same question every five minutes. No short term memory. He was better with that by the next day. The tests showed no bleeding. But a few weeks later, he started getting excruciating headaches. Went to the doctor. He had a hematoma. It didn’t show up originally because it was a slow bleed. Over the course of the next couple months, his brain moved 18 millimeters which is just crazy to me.
We thought he was gonna have to have his head drilled so they could remove fluid and let the brain breathe so to speak but we didn’t have to thank goodness. He still has some lingering issues now and then though.
