My appointment went pretty much as expected on Friday. My neuro-surgeon believes my shunt is clogged and malfunctioning and has set me up for a test for next Thursday. Yikes, I have to go back to Baltimore again. He is running dye through the shunt to make sure it is really clogged and not working and is putting an anti-clogging agent in it as well. He said this agent only works 15 percent of the time. Not a good average in my opinion. If he can't get it working I will have to have another shunt inserted. That means another surgery and another bald head! If I can get the shunt to work by Thursday I won't have to have any of this done, though, so I would LOVE prayers and good thoughts and vibes sent my way!! Thanks!! I am so very grateful for all of your prayers through this journal and through emails and IM's!! They mean more than you all will ever know.
Hey, don't forget triple click October over at the Breast Cancer Site!!
Have a great Sunday! xox

ReplyDeleteAs for your photo it's obvious that it is a photo of a Statue named Barbara Ann. Now I know where the Beach Boys got the title for their famous song. Of course it could be a photo of a metiorite which is also known as a "fallen star" which could be where the song "Twinkle twinkle little star" came from. Oh the possibilities!
Hey guess what? I FINALLY made a new entry, I know you were wondering if I still knew HOW to write. Me too! Be well.
