Surgery 58 in August

I saw my neurosurgeon today and talked to him about changing my shunt assistants (I have 3) for new ones because they are old and may be contributing to the severe low pressure. He will either add another one, change my current ones or both. He has to go into my chest which is the most painful. 

To be honest, I wasn't expecting him to do anything at all except to adjust it. I'm very happy he is though, I'm so miserable that I just can't take it anymore. My family is taking a trip to Canada to see Niagara Falls in two days and he will unfortunately be out of town the first two weeks of August so it will have to wait. It hurts my legs pretty bad to walk very far so I use a wheelchair and I just got my new one today. It's a few inches smaller than my previous and more comfortable. Well, that's it for now.
