VP shunt 2-17-15 / bumped my head this morning?
Hi guys,
I've never posted here ... but I have chiari malformation ... and developed hydrocephalus after my first decompression surgery. I had a few LP shunts since 2014 and ended up my a shiny new VP shunt earlier this month. I get my stitches out Tuesday ... the thing is. While putting dishes away this morning I hit my head kind of hard on the corner of an open cabinet door. Maybe 3 inches above where the valve is. My head has been throbbing kind of badly since. It didn't bleed but I do have a little bump. Does it sound like something that can wait until Monday or Tuesday?
