Anyways, as usual they gave me meds, a ct scan and shunt series, and admitted me. I saw my neuro after I was admitted tuesday morning as he was deciding what do cause both came back fine. He decided on a ct of my chest as the xray wasn't too clear. Well the ct showed that the catheter had come out of my chest and was resting just under my skin, so the pressure was backing up causing the headaches and some swelling I had had around my collar bone at the shunt tubing track. Anyways, he fixed that on wednesday and I came home on friday. Haven't had any really bad headaches, just the lingering one from the backed up pressure that is still dispersing. Anyways, just wanted to update yall!
