Bowling Ball Head

The Nurse called just now to tell me that my dr left to go out of town this weekend. He looked at the MRI just before he left to see if surgery was needed immediately. He concluded that I can suck it up over the weekend and that we'd come up with a game plan on Tuesday. Nurse said he acknowledged that my ventricles are enlarged, but not excessively so. But Based on our conversation on Monday, I'm pretty sure he'll do surgery because I'm symptomatic.

My friends on the ETV Facebook page think that the hole is probably still allowing fluid to flow but not as much as it should. And since many of them have had ETV revisions, I trust their interpretation of the symptoms and brain scans more than anyone else except my neurosurgeon.
