EDH >15mm

21 March 2008,I was driving my car on the highway at the spped of around 80kmph. It was night time and there were no lights on the road. All of suuden we saw a heavy vehicle parked on the road witout any parking signal… it was too late. I pressed hard the brakes but knew it that we wont be able to avoid the hit.

I saw my car damaged and still stucked in that truck. I saw my wife she was unconcious… I pulled her out of car with some local help. Few minuted latter she gain consious and was bleeding. It was clearly a head injuiry. We rushed her to hospital where she was given first aid ( few stiches on head). We insisted doctors for CT Scan or MRI but they said it was not required.

We were leaving for home and suddenly my wife vomated. This time doctor took the CT Scan. It was EDH > 15mm. She was admitted. That night was very scary. Although she could speak and recognise every body around her but no body now when EDH injury may get serious. Morning Eight Clock she got operted and doctor confirmed that every thing was ok and she is out of danger. She is going through treatment in hospital. She is recovering but next few weeks we are observing her closely.
