Ginnie - Thank you for the nice welcome and information!

Night nurse - I was a little surprised too that they let me out so quick I was not happy with the trauma doctor at the hospital. I felt like he was trying to send me home even earlier until I started throwing up on the 2nd night. I think he would have sent me home on the 3rd day if that didn't happen.

I was not on any meds that I know of other than pain meds and an iv in the hospital. I was not sent home with any meds other than pain also.

They did not do a cerebral angiogram either. Honestly, they didn't do much of anything once I was in the room other than feed me the 3rd and 4th day. I was on liquid diet the first two days.

No, the original location has not been investigated. The 1st CT on the night of the accident stated "the examination is notable for a zone of increased attenuation of the right parietal lobe in a curvilinear orientation along the sulci and this suggest the possibility of small subarachnoid hemorrhage"

2nd CT done the next day stated "Small amount of subarachnoid hemorrhage which appears less prominent on the new examination as compared to the previous examination over the right convexity."

The MRI also showed petechial hemorrhagic contusions. All of this is confusing to me. It doesn't state anywhere in the forms they gave me about any medication they may have used to stop the bleeding.

I did call the Concussion Institute in El Segundo, but when I spoke with my father and stepmother who would be driving me, they suggested finding someone closer. I am located in the San Fernando Valley. Do you know any good neuro-interventionalists in this area? La Jolla is quite a bit further and I don't know if I can get them to drive me.
