I dont know actually if he used the same hole or a different one. Never thought to ask. The valve itself is in roughly the same place. Looks to me like maybe a little more forward but not much.
I am already out of the hospital. I was released yesterday. I am most definitely getting relief. I woke up Friday morning and am not at all ashamed to say I was in tears because it was the first time since September that I didn’t have a headache. My ear is no longer ringing, my eyes dont feel like they are popping out and I dont have Snap, Crackle, or Pop (the Rice Crispy guys) in my neck. I am in quite a bit of pain from the surgery especially my neck right below my right ear where they started running the tube. But that’s to be expected. All in all it went well and the shunt is working. It will take some time for the eyes to come back as that was actual damage that must repair itself.
Its is amazing to me how instant the relief is. Was the first time and is again.
