I rang the hospital again,and spoke to a surgeon whom I had never spoke to before.
Instead of going through the history - I gave him my hospital number and told him 'look me up'
'Ok' he said,and asked me what the problem was at the same time.
He told me that there was nothing he or anyone could do about the headaches or the noise til I had a CT brain (do I still have one of those?) scan or 3.So that they could see what was going on,and determine whether the shunt was on the move again - said he wishing Willie would just leave it alone for 5 minutes at least.
He could see that I was due for my scans next week,and has just amended the 'order' to include the new scans.
So - I have to sit here til next week Wednesday before I can get the scans done,and then wait til my clinic date the following week to get their opinion.My question is this -assuming that the shunt needs to come out before it pulls my brain into the top of my spinal column ? which was the main motivating reason for having the surgery in March anyway.
How are they going to do it - vewy vewy carefully,I would think
....and isnt all this just too much of a coincidence that at the same time,I have to deal with the fact that my parents are on the way over on the 24th of this month( 'scuse me while I do the irish jig and the dance of joy ) but not to see me,but rather to sort out some of their own 'unfinished business'.......and all this after my dad suffered a massive blood clot in his lung that was thought to have caused what looked like a heart attack - and yet his Spanish doctor has cleared him to fly,whilst still on blood thinning medication - and the reason why I should care about all this is.......?
However there is still a good chance that I would have blown the hospital to smithereens by next week - either that,or get Willie to teach those fucking mosquitoes in my head,how to play Stairway to Heaven in the key of A minor 7th.
Wishful thinking?Maybe
or am I getting the bustles in my hedgerow all mixed up once again?
