update
I feel pretty stupid writing in this thing, I never use it any more except when various things happen with my head and all that shit. It's been a mildly interesting ride, bouncing from medication to medication, experimenting with side effects and various stuff like that.
A lot of doctors visits are pretty much the same old thing, over and over. Not responding to the medication, not getting better, headaches are worse, vision is pretty rotten too.
So I am having surgery. I'm going in thursday (20th) and I should be in there two days if everything goes okay. It's a standard shunt placement. A tube going into my brain to drain the fluid that will take it down a tube all the way down to my stomach cavity. This should drain the fluid and relieve the pressure on the back of my optic nerve and hopefully get rid of some of my headaches. It wasn't comforting to hear the doctor say that I could possibly be a headachy person for the rest of my life.
Anyway, that's that.
So I know I've been quiet and stuff, but nice thoughts would be very much welcomed at this point. I really don't have anyone around here, though Geoff has been nice. Still, it's pretty lonely.
Anyway - if I don't post before the holidays, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
