I finally got a hold of my Dr. on Wednesday at 2:30. He said "Good news, no stroke, tumor, or aneurysm." "You just have Chiari 1 Malformation, no big deal." Really, because last time I checked, it wouldn't be a problem if NOTHING was wrong, but this to me seems to be a problem. They admitted me that night. After several narcotics and me bitching and moaning about everything, my headache went away yesterday afternoon. However, they wouldn't let me leave. Oh and the neurologist that I met, total asshole, completely. Very sarcastic and bitchy, kind like me.
I was finally booted out this morning to come home and I am much happier here. So I think I am suppose to continue on as if there is nothing wrong. Oh and if you don't know what Chiari 1 is, it is where your brain stem/bottom of brain starts going down into your spinal column. That is what I understood of it. I also have a mild case of Hydrocephalus. Which is a build up of fluid.
So I am back and alive. I will be getting a second opinion, because well, when there is something wrong in the area of, oh say your brain, I believe a second opinion would be good.
Thanks for all the good thoughts!
