| Hi! I know something about surgery for subdural hematoma because my father had a it two years ago. I can tell you that if treatment is provided soon enough, recovery is usually complete. Your friend may have some problems for some time after surgery, like attention problems, amnesia and headaches. |

|
|
I have had one surgery for a blood clot in my brain when I was 10 with complete recovery.
Since then I have had two other surgeries for subdural hemotomas - I suffered some word association problems and fatigue and headaches - but have been much better for the last few years. I still have a fixed pupil on my right side.
Recovery certainly depends on following your neruosurgeions advice! |

I had one in my second year of college. There were two clots - one the size of a golf ball and the other the size of a hockey puck. I was out of the hospital after three days (i think) and took two weeks off from class. I did end up having to drop one that semester and probably should've dropped more, but was stubborn. Classes became markedly more difficult - especially tests. I remember describing what it felt like using computers as an analogy. It was like I had grown up using a PC and was very accustomed to the PC. All of the sudden, I switched to a Mac. I still knew how to work computers, but the icons were different, the mouse was different, and everything was in a new place. So I could study for hours as I had before, but once I attempted to recall it... it was like it was in a new place and I couldn't remember how to get there.
If your friend is in school, you may suggest (when he/she goes back) that they look into getting on disability. It helped to have a little more time on tests.
It goes away, though. Or you adjust, i guess. It's been five years now and I feel normal. |
