Tomorrow is the day for me becoming even more of a bionic woman, with the filter and the fact that I have a shunt to drain the fluid off my brain. I don't have a time for the procedure yet, will probably not get it till tomorrow sometime. I am not even sure if I will be NPO after midnight tonight because the doctor assured me that I will get some medication to help me relax and get to the point that I am more comfortable.
Right now I am waiting for my care partner to get finished with her vitals and come back because I would like to go for a little stroll and need some help to do so. Also we are going to get a good popscile or two out of the staff fridge that my mom hid there since the ones that are in the patient fridge have melted and re-frozen which makes them not taste so hot.
And since my fluid intake is down and I love popsciles that is an easy way for me to get more fluids in and avoid being hooked up to an IV in addition to telemetry which isn't a portable device it is like an IV pump with a bunch more cords and oxygen to keep me from de-satting which I do often because my lungs aint working the greatest due to the blood clots.
thanks for the prayers and good thoughts, brain surgery doesnt really freak me out but this is, I am trying to rest in the knowledge that God is in control and will walk me through this latest trial but sheessh I sometimes wish that God didnt think so highly of me....you know the God won't give you more than you can handle.
