My right eye has improved and I don’t look as crossed eyed as before. The images are starting to align in the far corners first then moving inward. The pain is still there from the muscles putting themselves back into place. There are times where it feels like my eye is being stabbed with a sharp object. Pressure is also being relieved off the left eye, but not as much as the right. I believe I could have my right eye back by the end of July. If not then, it should be before the end of August.

There’s still something going on with the catheter in my stomach. Everyday I feel sharp, throbbing pains where the catheter is both underneath previous revision scars and from the top to the bottom of my stomach. I was given an adjustment in May and that helped alleviate some of my symptoms. I suspect I’ll need another when I see my doctor again next month. The challenging part is having to wait until then. 

Scarring from distal revision last month.

I’m going to have plastic surgery sometime this summer to correct the scar left behind from the distal catheter surgery in May. The incisions made on my stomach during that operation didn’t leave any scarring like the one on my clavicle ( pictured ). It’s an odd looking mark as I don’t think it’s suppose to look that way. The good news is the entire shunt is in working order.  Before they had made the adjustment for me earlier this week I was having pains in the stomach catheter ( as mentioned previously ) The discomfort in my stomach is minimal compared to how it was on Monday. Shunt is correcting itself. The bad taste is gone from the back of my throat and I now I only occasionally feel discomfort in my abdomen.
