So I had my decompression surgery on the 1st in co released on the 4 th and was hone for almost a week before I was brought back to the icu here in Tulsa I have been here since last Monday got put into a regular room today. They had to do another surgery Thursday I had a very large blood clot on my medula and a bleed somewhere so my brain was just filling full if fluid and blood. My syrinx which before was almost nothing had grown so much in a week it severely worried my ns herein have been getting ct scan daily to monitor the fluid volume which is going down. I was on high dose diairetics antibiotics steroids and something that prevents me from making more fluids. They want to do another cine mri in a month or two my flow was down to nothing by wed. Its been pretty scary and painfull. I started losing my vision for awhile they think its temp damage from too much pressure on my nerves but I can see to type again and watch tv so that’s good. Now after a week in bed them not wanting me to move im learning to walk again my legs are so weak now I need lots of help. Im kinda releaved they didn’t end up needing to do a shunt he was very close to having to bit I got so weak so fast it was like someone snapped their fingers and I was down. They were not able to get most of the clot so they are monitieringhow I do to see what to do next. So I will go back to resting in an uncomfortable bed watching dumb day time tv they said my kids can come up today im very happy to see them I miss there hugs so much. Hopefully ill be home again soon for lo her this time!
