Today isn't quite as bad. I also got a time released sleeping pill that let me sleep till 5:30 this morning which helped. The headache is pretty strong yet, though.
The surgery will now be at 7:30 am Monday. They told us that it would probably take 1 1/2 hours--a little longer then we thought. I will have an incision in my head above my ear (the tube runs through a ventricle of my brain) and a 2nd in my stomach where they tubing runs under my skin and they insert it into my stomach surgically where it will drain. The technical name is ventricu-peritoneal shunt surgery, vp shunt for short.
Thank you for your kind words and support during this difficult journey in our lives. Psalm 121 is one of my favorite and a comfort at this time. Someone read it to me this morning and it is reassuring to know that God is in control and has a plan through all this.
