Feeling Better, News of the Next Step

Dr. Piedra came in and talked to me this morning. I am feeling a lot better, but will be in the ICU until the shunt is placed internally again.

When he places it back in (likely Monday or Tuesday), I will have a VA shunt instead of a VP shunt. This means it will drain into the artery that flows to my heart instead of draining into my abdominal cavity.

A lot of the nurses recognize me from last month, even the ones who were on the othwr side of the neuro floor. "You're the one who was up walking laps last month!" It's nice to be remembered. 

Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.

Proverbs 4:23 ESV

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Proverbs 3:5‭-‬6 ESV
