SURGERY

I AM HAVING BRAIN SURGERY TOMORROW. I AM FREAKING OUT ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT. MY NEUROSURGEON IS GOING TO BUT IN A NEW VALVE IN MY SHUNT IN MY BRAIN. MY NEUROSURGEON WANTS TO SEE IF WHEN HE PUTS IN THE NEW VALVE IT WILL BE OFF. THAT MEANS THAT MY SHUNT WON'T BE DRAINING. I WILL BE IN THE I.C.U. FOR AT LEAST 3 DAYS TO SEE WHETHER I CAN TOLERATE NOT HAVING MY SHUNT WORKING. IF I CAN'T THAN MY NEUROSURGEON WILL JUST SWITCH THE VALVE ON.


RIGHT NOW I'M VERY NERVOUS, BUT THE DAY OF THE SURGERY I GET THIS CALM FEELING. MY FIANCE IS COMING WITH ME AND HIS GOING TO SIT IN THE WAITING ROOM WITH MY MOM I THINK THAT WILL HELP. THINKING ABOUT HIM BEING OUT THERE FOR ME.

PLEASE IF YOU PRAY...PRAY FOR ME PLEASE!!!!!

EVERYTHING WENT WELL IN THE SURGERY AND AFTERWARD IN THE RECOVERY ROOM THE NEUROSURGERY TEAM CAME IN TO CHANGE THE PRESSURE IN MY NEW VALVE. IT HURT SO MUCH BECAUSE THEY HAD TO TAKE THE BANDAGE OFF AND PRESS WHERE IT WAS SWOLLEN. THEY TRIED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES TO GET MY PRESSURE TO READ SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND THEN TAKE ME TO X-RAY. BUT THEN THE NEXT MORNING THE NURSE JUST TOOK ME TO CAT SCAN. MY PRESSURE IS NOW AT 290 AND I AM FEELING A LOT BETTER. I AM NOT THROWING UP ALL THE TIME AND I AM NOT DIZZY WHEN I GET UP.

I MEAN I STILL HAVE A HEADACHE FROM WHERE THEY DID THE SURGERY AND I HAVE TO GO BACK IN 7 TO 10 DAYS FOR A FOLLOW UP BUT THIS IS THE BEST I'VE FELT IN A LONG TIME!!!
