Here's the deal with the headaches thing. I went to the neurologist today. He said that when he read the reading on the spinal tap I got in the ER, it was way different than what the ER doctor said. Apparently she had no idea what she was doing, and when the neurologist doctor looked at it he said my spinal fluid pressure was dangerously high. And since it has gone over a week untreated, it's going to take longer to get the pressure back down to normal. One plus about the meds.... WEIGHT LOSS! But its got some pretty bad negatives including numbness in the arms and legs and a metallic taste in the mouth. He said its going to take about a month to recover fully. And I don't have to work for another week thank GOD. I'm gonna miss CCU orientation on Wednesday and Thursday tho. Didn't really wanna go anyway, except to get my class schedule. Ok well time is up, can't sit up any longer. Thank you all for your concerns and prayers. I'll update again when I can sit up for a while.
