Post-OP

Life has been slow since the shunt surgery. Erik had muscle spasms and was flat on his back for several days...he seems to be doing much better since yesterday. This is good, because all the therapies have been put on hold until he feels better. Next week is busy with appointments and so I hope he is back to 'work' mode by then.

It looks like his CSF leak has stopped since the surgery. There has also been an unexpected bonus since the shunt was put in. Erik's double vision seems to have been repaired. I guess that the CSF pressure was not only causing the leak, but the double vision too. Erik has an eye appointment next week & we will learn more about his vision at that time. This is great news...he might have dodged another surgery. Keep your fingers crossed.
