Aint that some shunt (1 Viewer)

[Land Speeder]

Getting a fresh shunt come Friday up a UAB medical center. Even though it is brain surgery, hopefully it will go smooth and I will only be in the hospital for a few days, staying in NeuroICU for one night.

Reason: 'turrible' headaches everyday since the last one in '08 as well as 'turrible' stomach pains from the cathetor in the abdomen. It feels like a knife being twisted in my stomach. Daily at any given time. Hopefully this new one resolves all that. Neurosurgeon is female and she'll do a few other procedures, like opening up the cavity that the CSF fills, since one looks to be collapsed... we pray for the best! She's good.

We'll be praying for you. If you feel like having visitors let me know what room they put you in after you get out of the ICU and I'll bring you some non hospital food (although I hear it's pretty good at UAB now)

You don't know me but I've been reading your unique posts and have enjoyed them tremendously. Ran into a couple of kids from Auburn recently that know you and they had a lot of nice things to say. Amazing isn't it?
Wish you the best and look forward to reading about your expedition at UAB when they let or run you out.

Got a feeling you give the nurses a hard time too. Save me a fat one.
