March 26th Lumbar Shunt Surgery

It is not a decompression to post but happy thoughts will still be greatly appreciated.  My MRI this week showed the pseudomeningocele still there so they hope with a lumbar shunt it might go away and not require another surgery to try and close it.  This will be surgery #4 dealing with the Chiari situation!  -zygy
