Do you mean, she was confused just after the surgery?  Or do you mean that she has come home, it's been a while, and she's still confused?\n\nMake an appointment with your primary doctor (your regular doctor, not the one who did surgery) and get a consult.  Then, get a second opinion from a new doctor - this might not be covered by your health plan, but it might be very important that you do it.

Hello Sir,\nI can understand your problem because my mother suffered almost with the same kind of proble. she also consulted with many neuro surgeons and orthopedic surgeons but nothing happened. The only thing that helped her was physiotherapy. You better go to a qualified physiotherapist. I hope that will definitely work for you.\nI hope that the problem of your wife will soon be over.\nI will pray for her.

It is very difficult surgery.  The only person I knew personally who had it died a few years after the surgery.

Even with all the relative information and seeing the patient the most experienced doctor can only make an educated guess at recovery time. Every injury is unique and even with the most advanced diagnostic equipment its exact extent can only be estimated. From what you say it sounds as though your wife is well on the way to full recovery and will only have to be patient for a little while yet. Best of luck.

Funny you should ask.  I have been answering a lot of questions here, but two years ago I was in exactly the same situation as you are now.  My wife (28 at the time) was in a car accident and ended up with TBI.  I was desperate to hear some stories, since I knew the neurosurgeons would never commit to any prognosis.  My wife stayed in a coma for 9 days and then slowly started waking up.  Initially, she had difficult talking, concentrating, walking etc, but over the course of six weeks, her physical therapists got her back to a great shape.  She continued her recovery and today the accident is just a memory. She is back to herself 100% and we just had a baby boy.  So I want to give you some hope.  The thing with TBI is that it is very unpredictible.  Her MRI looked quite bad apparently (she had the dreaded diffuse axonal injury) and yet she recovered fully.  I'd say she was back to 90% at six months and has been at 100% since then.  In retrospect, there were two important things.  She had excellent neurosurgical care that made sure the intracranial pressure never got too high.  I don't know how recent your daughter's accident was, but if it is days, that is absolutely the key thing.  Inquire about those pressures if you can.  The second thing was a comprehensive physical, speech and occupational therapy program.  Make sure your daughter gets the best.  \n\nAll the best to you and your daughter and never loose any hope!

Have you checked this out with your local doctor or gynaecologist? if you have had this "dragging feeling" since your operation it is somthing that you need to check out so that you can be sure in your own mind that there is  nothing that you need to be concerned about. I hope that this helps you.

Ask your general practice doctor for a script for a couple mild sedatives.  I have a friend who's in essentially the same situation, and it's worked well for her.  Otherwise, a small dose of an anti-anxiety med may just do the trick, also.  Make sure you let your MD know what it's for, as he/she may have an even better solution.  :)  Although... I work in a hospital where exams/dental work done under general anesthesia isn't completely uncommon, so you're definitely not alone in your dilemma!  you should try and go before you wind up with a lot of work that needs to be done, though!  Good Luck!

I had surgery last year and I felt exactly like this (other than the poring blood part..that's kind of scary).  Your throat is sore because they jammed a tube down it.  Your having a hard time breathing because of the anesthesia and your chest is sore.  Your head hurts from the anesthesia and your body is sore because you should see the things they do to bodies on the operating table.  lol  Just kidding. Your body has been through A LOT today.  Give it time to heal.  As for the bleeding...do what ever the Doctors said!  If you get real short of breath go to the ER. Good luck and remember...you only get what you pay for :-).

Ask her doctor, or if you can't grab him/her, then ask a nurse what kind of support your mom will need, especially when she gets home.  Also, as a mom, it always meant so much when my kids cleaned the house for me, made me cards, came and snuggled with me, offered to make tea or coffee.  Funny, how it's so often the  little things that mean so much.  Good luck and I hope everything goes great with your mom's surgery.

Why cant you tell her whats going on. Get a doctors note or something. What is she supposed to think if she has no explantions. You are wrong not  informing her. All she see's is your work proformance going down the tubes. maybe she would cut you some slack if she new ther ewas a medical issiue and you were going to lose the baby because its in your tube. This is a serious condition and if not treated soon you could lose your tube if it bursts and posiably risk your life and the lifes of any other children. I would talk to her right away and have some medical papers or your Dr. phone number to bacl you up.

My ex-wife's went away after a few months. If it doesn't, ask the doctor. They should know.

about 3 yrs ago, my husband and I had surgery at the same time, for different things. We were sleeping in the living room because neither one of us could sleep in bed (problems with laying down) I was on the couch and he was in the chair. He woke me up and said he saw a lady dressed in white with long hair sitting on the arm of the couch where I was sleeping. It scared him enough that he couldn't get back to sleep,and no matter what I said, I couldn't change his mind he still insists he saw her. I have no idea what he saw, or why.\nWeird huh?

The only answer I have for you is to go see a professional.  Even if the surgeon retired, you still must have had some sort of  GP or something that was in on the whole thing. You can also get copies of your records and take them to another doctor.

Perhaps the epidural was placed incorrectly.\nTalk over your concerns with your OB GYN.\nThey generally provide considerable relief when done properly.

Hi, I feel so so so sorry for you, personally if I was you I would sit down with your friends family and the 2 surgeons and just ask them what is the pros and cons.\n\nSurely they will be able to give you some advice on this, you can't go thru all of this without some help or advice.\n\nAlso, ask the neurosurgeon for his advice and just tell him that you don't want to do anything without his approval cos at the end of the day it is your life that will be wrecked not theirs and not your families.\n\nAlso, if your surgeon rings you up ask him to talk to you over the phone and ask him the questions and get him to answer them, if he can and just pour your heart out to him tell him you don't want him to do the 15hr operation.\n\nYour surgeon will do whats best for you he won't let you down over all of these years.\n\nIf he did operate what would happen would you get paralyasis permantely and the blindness will that be permant whatever way you go?\n\nTry asking for a shunt to be put in I know you mentioned it in the additional details but that could save you and does that stay in their for life?\n\nAnyway good luck for this upcoming operation but please really think about it and I hope you get all the answers you need for you to make your decision.\n\nTake your time in thinking about it, it is your life your talking about here not theirs, also I have one more point for you!!!!!!\n\nLets say you didn't have these operations would you go blind? \nAnd also if you had the operations what happens in later life?\nHave you got to have it done again or will the shunt keep the fluid away?\n\nPlease add additional information\n\nThanks and the very best of luck?

Not sure what was going on in the world on that date because I was in the hospital having surgery.
