Betty21 Hi.
adjusting those glasses and seeing your doctor are the right moves. I remember the first time my surgeon said I'll see you in three months I almost went into shock
He must have gotten 10 calls those 3 months. Oh, and a couple of walk in visits
I've gone back and researched my shunt and valve. I know exactly where the shunt is located. What ever you think will give you more confidence, then you should do it. I beleive the more knowledge I have the better I'll know if there's a problem. I know thats ok. As for the pain, I shared with you what I'm talking and its not healing it, just helps me to deal with it. Theres much that can be shared God willing time will be our friend as I know that He loves and cares for us. I no longer have any fear about this.
