UPDATE. MAY NOT BE PLEASANT FOR THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE TALK OF MEDICAL PROCEDURES AND NEEDLES.

So, yours truly went to the ER Tuesday morning. I didn't leave the hospital until 6pm tonight. I got admitted folks, and it was very scary and kinda traumatizing.

I had a(n):
-CT/CAT scan
-X-ray
-MRI
-Blood drawn
-Other tests done
-Fluid taken from my shunt (HURT A LOT)
and then today I had the most painful procedure *ever* called a shuntogram.

Good news: All came back negative (that's good)
Bad news: I wasted my time in hospital and got jabbed by needles ninetybillion times.

So, my headaches are not a result of a shunt problem. Which means no surgery needed for me, WHEEEEEEE!!
