Thanks for the reply ginny. I really feel okay with just trying to wait it out and listening to my body. For the moment anyways. If anything changes I'll re-evaluate. I went to my moms house (as she knows more about this than me) and this is what we came up with:

1. Find my shunt info card.

2. Call OHSU medical records, see who has my shunt records, have my records faxed to my GP, and find out who the local neurosurgeons are and how to contact them. (depending on how far out scheduling is, make an appointment for after insurance kicks in)

3. Contact my GP, make sure he has everything he needs in his hands, and ask for advice.

-5 weeks from now-

Schedule appointment with neurosurgeon if I haven't already.

Obviously I'll be doing all of this while listening to my body and feeling for symptoms.
