    Today it's worst. They say he has frontal hematoma or something like that. What does that mean? How is that possible first he is better then worst....are they lying to me?
    @Melodieccurn I don't know how tobsend you a message.

    This is the way of brain injuries. You live minute to minute. One day he will be doing good and the next not. No recovery is the same for a brain injury and just expect that it is going to be rough--especially the first few days. My husband didn't recognize me for days after he came out of his coma and after that he didn't know my name for a long time.

    If your husband is in the neuro until of the hospital, those nurses and doctors are amazing and they know what they're talking about. Ask questions. They won't mind answering your questions. They're used to it. The more you know the better equipped you'll be to deal with it.

    Be prepared to be his voice and his advocate and eventually his caregiver for a time.

    I'm guessing someone got uppity because the OP used curse words. Never mind that she had every reason to. I hope everything turned out OK, this was a couple of weeks ago...

    Agreed, very upsetting circumstances. If you are uppity after the first couple posts why bother returning to the thread. Some people have nothing better to do I guess.

    Doctors also may choose to remove a portion of his skull to relieve the pressure on his brain. This sort of surgery was done by cavemen with flint knives thousands of years ago. Modern doctors got this.
