boomerang again

I'm not sure what triggered the following chain of events.
But I must have been glitching in some significant way because my watchful sister called me in, and my marching orders were to turn myself in to the ER.  After some imaging the hypothesis was that my shunt was clogged, so ambulance ride to Iowa City, for another brain surgery. to resolve the clog.
Thanks dad for doing the research and telling me what it's called Third ventriculostomy.  Before this procedure I was having terrible headaches now I barely have a mild daily headache.

I started out in my own room in the neurosurgery ICU but then I was moved to a lesser floor where I acquired a roommate My roommate was an ancient woman named Lucy.  Patients like Lucy and I are labeled fall risk and are not allowed to get out of bed without assistance, this makes timing bathroom trips very tricky.And Lucy provided some entertainment one night.  Poor thing needed help with something but either couldn't find or couldn't operate her call light. So she started throwing items from her tray table toward the door.  This included various cutlery from her dinner tray.  i used my call light to summon some assistance for lucy. THe nurses were suprised by the litter in our room.

But I suspect that help arrived too late for Lucy because soon I could smell the cause of her crisis.

I don't know the timeline but after being in the hospital for a relatively short amount of time I was discharged to Acute Rehab in my hometown.

Needless  to say I would have completely missed the Thanksgiving holiday if not for my bff Rose visiting from Massachusetts and hanging out with me in Acute Rehab. and playing Rumicube with me.  Thanks Rose, you're the best!!!!and thank you also for the new bluetooth speaker. 

The first thing I did when I got home was to use the bathroom without first asking permission and without being watched.  It was glorious.  Simple things.

I gaveup everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because thedoctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs butthey never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me makingit worse. I was doing some research online someday when Icame across testimonies of some people of how DR Ebhotacured them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thoughtit was a joke but later decided to contact him on the detailsprovided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent mehis herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after twoweeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptomsdisappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I wasNEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DREbhota because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep ontelling the world about you. If you are going through samesituation worry no more and contact DR Ebhota viadrebhotasolution@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348089535482.he also special on cureing 1. HIV/AIDS2. HERPES 3.

I contacted him and told him my problem he told me that I should not worry that my sister cancer will be cure, he told me that there is a medicine that he is going to give me that I will cook it and give it to my sister to drink for one week, so I ask how can I receive the cure that I am in USA, he told me That I will pay for the delivery service. The courier service can transport it to me so he told me the amount I will pay, so my dad paid for the delivery fee. two days later I receive the cure from the courier service so I used it as the herbal man instructed me to, before the week complete my sister cancer was healed and it was like a dream to me not knowing that it was physical I and my family were very happy about the miracle of Doctor so my dad wanted to pay him 5 million us dollars the herbal man did not accept the offer from my dad, but I don't know why he didn't accept the offer, he only say that I should tell the world about him and his miracle he perform so am now here to tell the world about him if you or your relative is having any kind of disease that you can't get from the hospital please contact dr.sakuraspellalter@gmail.com or whats app him +2348110114739  you can follow him up on Instagram @herbalist_sakura for the cure, he will help you out with the problem.
