[QUOTE="LandSpeeder, post: 596604, member: 1799"] Prayers to you. I'm called SHUNT because I have a VP Shunt in my head. I've had a dozen brain surgeries. I've had bacterial meningitis as well as an extremely rare strain of mold in my cerebralspinal Fluid (CSF). I'm the only person in the SoutEast US to have survived this infection. Had you visited me in the hospital during that stint, you would not have recognized me, I was probably hours from death for days/weeks. And yes, I was cognizant the entire time, not in a coma. I've had leaking CSF, so badly at one point they almost gave up trying to stop it. Glad they didn't. UAB saved my life, a few times. I had bone behind my sinuses essentially dessintegrate from CSF pressure, the size an egg could pass through, so they had to reconstruct that entire area. Many, many, MANY surgeries. This was 2008, and went for roughly 6-7 months in and out of the hospital. I still have issues with my shunt. It fails. And I've already had it replaced three times since 2008. I just live life. I mean, what else can I do? Right? Please let me know you just wanna chat, text (hate texting) or whatever. I'll listen or offer advice, or whatever. Sometimes you just want someone who ha had similiar experiences to listen... Prayers to you, brother. [/QUOTE]
