Challenges

I had my ct scan today, and have a copy of it in my purse to take with me tomorrow to Dr Heffez. I also had to have an ultrasound today because I have been having pain in my lower abdominal area. It started not long after surgery and varies between a dull ache and a sharp throbbing pain. All the normal stuff has been ruled out like appendix, kidney stones, bladder infection, gallbladder problems, etc. The ultrasound showed an unusual fluid build up which they can't explain, so I need to have an additional test next week. I had really been putting off doing anything with it because I really thought it would just go away. They don't think it is related to my last surgery but I will ask the neurosurgeon since the shunt drains in the upper cavity. It is discouraging.

My headaches continue to escalate. The ringing in my ears sounds like someone blowing a dog whistle inside my head and noise is becoming more difficult to tolerate. But maybe I am just not dealing with it as well.

Living without headaches for a while makes it so difficult for all of us to be dealing with it again. Please pray that the Lord removes this burden from us and/or gives us much strength and courage--we really need it!
