I requested a copy of the scans from before and after my surgery so I could post them here. I have had several requests to see the actual scans. So, I submitted that request and was quite happy to receive them. There was only one problem...there were no scans, just the radiologists report of my scans. So, until I receive the actual pictures, I will be posting some of the radiologist reports. Some of them are quite revealing of pons infarctions, cerebellar infarctions, brain stem infarctions and swelling of the dura. So, look for those in the next few days as I post them (one at a time, since there are quite a few and they are quite extensive.)
For the last few weeks I have been experiencing some pretty terrible headaches; not the kind that you can relieve by rubbing your temples or taking Tylenol, but headaches that radiate from the back of my head. It seems as though I have tried several things to relieve them: taking naps, lying down on heating pads, taking Tylenol, turning the lights of, etc. but nothing seems to help. Now, I don't have them all the time, only a few days a week and I can tell that they are more from muscle tightness than anything else. I have been instructed to go the ER if they flare up again, because of my past history of headaches before my stroke, but most likely it is due to the muscles that were cut in the back of my head for the Craniotomy. I would say that most days I do not struggle with headaches at all; but, the days I do have headaches they are a doozy. I don't have blurred vision with them or sensitivity to light or sound; it just hurts. As I look back over the past 3+ years I realize...
