I was right, yesterday at the neuro opthomologist I got the worst case scenerio. He walked in and after the normal plesantries his first question was have you been having headaches, I said yes but they havent been my normal high pressure headache. they have been more of a migraine.
He asked about vision changes and I said yes that it had even been going completely black but that was more recent in the last few days.
He said your eyes are the worst I have ever seen them, I asked are you sure. He said your visual field has changed, not for the good, your basic eye exam has changed and you need to go directly to the emergency room your shunt has failed and aint working.
I made the trip to the er in record time for rush hour and the rain. they took me back very quickly and got ahold of my neurosurgeon in fast time. I was direct admited to intermediate care, step down from ICU (intensive care unit), because of my blood pressure and pulse.
I am waiting on the good PA to make rounds, at least I think I will be seeing the PA might get the good doctor who knows. And change my pain meds to something stronger because I have yet to sleep thanks to the pain, and tell me the game plan for today.
I know todays plans include surgery but I am not sure what time will post again when I know for sure.
