Hospital Problems

Apparently, hydrocephalus can cause hallucinations. Both visual and auditory. I can attest that is is scary to see someone that isn't there and hear that non-existent someone telling me things that nobody is telling me. Somebody was in my bedroom scaring me only Pretty promises me nobody was here and nobody was telling me, while I still heard them, that Pretty wanted me to move into a nursing home. Or, at least some place besides our house. How do I know who/what to believe? Both sound real to me. Pretty called 911 for an ambulance to take me to the hospital. I was having a strong headache in the same part of my head that I hit on my dresser when I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus. The ER doctor had my head scanned again and said the cerebral-spinal fluid is building up in my head again and pressing on different spots of my brain.

Oh no! This is not at all good, it must be horrible to have hallucinations. I hope the doctors can do something for you now.

I am sorry that you are going through this. You raised Pretty well, to look after you, and she is trying her hardest. Perhaps she wasn't aware of these other side effects. I hope that they are able to help you at the hospital, know that you are in good hands DE.

I hope this is going to prompt fast action. Please keep us informed. I PM’d you, but didn’t want to wake you with a text if you’re sleeping.

@rakski I'm really tired today. I fell asleep while I was trying to talk with some friends here on myLot. Supposedly, after the shunt is in place, I won't feel tired all the time. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. It's hard to do some things I KNEW I used to do all the time. If you want, wait until after the shunt and drain are in place before you and your family come to visit so I'll feel like cooking and entertaining all of you.

That sounds so scary to be having hallucinations and hope the doctors can help with the fluid buildup. You certainly have been dealing with so much lately.

Oh dear ! You are having a tough time of it lately aren’t you ! It must be scary when not only are you seeing and hearing things, but those things are not very nice. At least you know you are having hallucinations ….and when you are okay, you know that Pretty won’t put you into a nursing home.

@lovebuglena I think so, yes. I forgot to mention those to the neurologist when we saw her today. I'm surprised Pretty forgot to say anything to her, too.

That sounds so scary to go through, glad Pretty was there and got you to the ER fast. Hope the doctors get that fluid buildup sorted soon and you get some relief. Take care of yourself and lean on Pretty through this.

I heard a story from my mother's friend that after head surgery, a nerve connected to the eye was severed. Doctors also have to be careful when performing procedures.
