Has anyone been through with a family member a subdural hematoma?
I have a grandfather that has been going through a lot lately. Last year in November my grandmother passed away from a deadly disease that was untreatable. At the same time my grandpa was going through a double by pass surgery that he got over right away. And then he took a bad fall at a nursing home. So right now he had the surgery but he is not doing the same things that he did before the surgery. I was just wondering if anyone else can tell me their stories about it. My grandfather is turning 90 yrs old next month.Thank you.

Understanding my friend's death of a subdural hematoma?
My friend died in October of 2010 while I was out of town. I am trying to understand what exactly happened to him. I know that he was murdered and there is an investigation, but I am trying to piece together what would have happened.I was told his killer hit his head against the wall 3 times he also had a spinal brain tumor that had been removed years previously which caused a subdural hematoma, but his cause of death is listed as aspiration of vomit. Also, he was alive for some time at the hospital, this is where I become confused. They allowed his mother to come and see him and she said he had a breathing tube and that his hands were already cold and blue and she felt that he was already dead at this point. She says that they " worked on him" but could not save him.I understand it's difficult to piece this together, but what exactly happened to him? Thank you.

Subdural hematoma, or just a headache?
I was out skating with a friend, and while swerving to miss a fallen kid I fell myself. I hit hard on the back right side of my head if you draw a line from the top of the ear to the crown of the head it would be about 1 inch below that line, and exactly in the middle . I instantly curled into a ball and lay speechless with pain for about 5 10 seconds, then slowly sat up. By using the guide rail it was an indoor rink I made it back to the benches. it was another 2 3 around the rink, and I was at least 50 % numb the whole way. Body and head, like the feeling you get when you stand up too quickly. Buzzed and tingly. After sitting for about 10 minutes I felt well enough to continue skating, and I did so for another half hour. I had a bump that was about 1 1 2 in across, and a mild headache, but was otherwise fine. Before I continue, I will give a little needed background.When I was about 16 I was involved in a somewhat rough youth group game, and ended getting head butted hard in the side of the neck. I was examined on site by an EMT, and declared sound. I am now 20, and I have had chronic headaches ever since. I have had chiropractors and massage therapists work on my neck, but all there efforts do is stir up a one sided headache always in the same spot . All it takes is resting my head in my hands too long, or mildly jarring my neck or head, and I will have a headache that will last anywhere from hours to days, and range from mildly annoying to incapacitating. They, depending on the severity, are often accompanied by nausea and motion sensitivity.Now, from my skating injury, I have a headache that seems exactly like one of my chronic headaches. Except that it has lasted 3 full days with only slight slackening. This is not unheard of, as I have had headaches lasting up to a week. The only thing that actually has me worried is the fact that I don't remember WHY I fell. I remember striking the ice, and one photo like image of the kid in front of me, but that's it. Is it possible to have a concussion or subdural hematoma without any sort of abnormal eye response? I had my eyes checked about 45 minutes after the fact, and she said both responded fine.Also, none of my symptoms are getting worse. It seems that by now, if it was a subdural hematoma, they would have noticeable worsened.
Any doctos that can help with Subdural hematoma??

Subdural hematoma recovery??
I found out yesterday that a friend had fallen off of a roof and suffered a subdural hematoma. I guess the doctors drilled a hole in his skull to drain the blood, and now he is in an induced coma to reduce swelling, and on a ventilator. They said that he should make a full recovery. I know that these things vary drastically from case to case, but could anyone tell me about how long the doctors will keep him in a coma and on the ventilator as in, a few hours or a few weeks ?? And what will his recovery be like, and how long will he be in the hospital? As I said, I know that you can't really give me a definite answer, but just a ballpark estimate would be great, maybe from past experiences that you've had? I really know very little about the subject, so any knowledge would be nice. Thanks a lot.
