Well not the news I wanted to deal with today. Alot of people dont know and alot of people dont understand what I have to deal with and have to struggle with. I have a valve in my brain that keeps excess spinal fluid from building up and causing my brain to swell well after having some issues the last month or so with my vision and balance and my severe headaches i was hoping it was something else causing my issues. I had a emergency scan today and it shows my valve isn't working properly. So I go in as soon as I can to get more tests ran to see how far they have to go to fix it. Hopefully its not another replacement the last one put me out of commission for months. They relieved some pressure today to help so hopefully I'm good for a bit cause spinal taps suck and I hate them. So I' have some things planned this weekend and hope its not my last outing for a bit but I can't handle this pain and struggle very much longer. I just wanted to post this on here cause its the best way to tell more people then just messaging please dont be alarmed If I'm scheduled to do anything it will still be done. Don't want anyone freaking out and thinking negative about me. This is just life with a shunt valve at the age I was when they put it in its not normal as old as I was and my body has troubles dealing with it and trying ro be active puts more wear and tear on it and wears it out. I try to act normal like nothing is wrong when I'm out and among people there is to many judgemental people I come accross so I keep things to myself when it comes to this so if u are someone I usually visit with or talk to if some reason I dont or am short with u please dont think I'm being rude just really not feeling well right now.
