Hi Family and Friends,
My blood level took a dive, and so the doctor ordered 3 units of blood. What a difference! Certainly explains the no energy level. I think that was Wednesday.
Today is Friday. They took out the stitches from my procedure last week to cut the adhesions and drain the liquid. And we had a little surprise - There was so much fluid built up again that the middle stitch hole started draining - a free drain! Took us a while to realize that, then we sat there slowly letting it ooze out while the surgeon came. The surgeon tried in vain to drain some more fluid his way, then he sewed up the stitches, added some super-glue to stop the leak, and we scheduled a procedure for this coming Monday. Mike will come down this time to be with me. This will take out the "Ometeum" and put in a Denver shunt. Sounds a little bigger than the last procedure, but I'm in good hands down here.
Thank you for following this saga. I hope to report good news soon!
Love,
Carol
