I'm home now resting, and all went well. We were in a few minutes after scheduled (on books for 8:30) and were out of the OR in less than an hour this time.
I won't lie, it was a bit more painful and more uncomfortable this time. But it was still only about 15 minutes of that overall, so it was tolerable, and still worth getting out of there sooner without a spinal!
Nugget did cooperate and stayed mostly in place so doc was able to place the shunt towards the back, just below the shoulder blade so it should be out of the way and not in a place where it can get knocked or grabbed! Let's hope it stays put.
I had brunch at the hospital (french toast, sausage, and apple juice, yum!) and then rested and took a short nap, and got discharged around 1:30. Now I'm on bed rest for the day, and have a few follow ups scheduled.
Doc also ordered another round of steroid shots (2) so I had one today, and I'll get another tomorrow morning at another clinic.
That's all for today's episode of as nugget grows!
Thanks for updating us. Glad to hear everything went well! I hope you and nugget have speedy recovery and that you don't have any more issues after this!

Recover well, eat all the food and update us on anything that happens or lack of anything happening. many positive thoughts and fuzzy juju your way.
Glad to hear it went well, and especially glad that it's in a good location this time. Hopefully your nugget will leave it in place so it can do it's job! Thinking of you and your family.
