Still having good days and bad days. All my paperwork was submitted to Stanford out in California. Dr Steinberg isn't suggesting surgery for the other side at this time. The narrowing on the ventricle is so minimal that it would do more harm than good. As for my right side....I have no clue. My neuro should of did a contrasted MRI a few months ago to see what is happening. Dr Steinberg wants me to send him those reports after I have testing done. So back to my neurosurgeon I go for my 8 month check up!!
One thing I do know is if my indirect bypass failed I will be heading to California to have the direct bypass by Dr Steinberg. On the plus side Stanford is 30 minutes away from my family in NoCal.
So that's where I am from a medical stand point right now. I am trying to control my stress by meditation.
I sometimes feel like people don't think what I went through was major. For one I am not going to sit home and feel sorry for myself! I am going to go out and enjoy my kids, husband, family and friends!! I struggle on certain days and I always listen to my body. Luckily, my job agreed to me working at home full time. This has helped my manage my health and work better! I still have dizzy spells after working all day and driving was really hard! I guess getting my life where I can live it comfortably is what I really need right now!
Of course we are also always dealing with Colton's medical issues as well! Seriously, my family should be on some medical tv show with all our medical issues!
I always make sure to thank god every night for another day! That's important because I know that I could be worse off.
