hydrocephalus


by: michelle on Thu, Jun 05 2008

I am a 27 year old female that had been diagnosed with this when I was 24 due to a car accident. I havn’t had the shunt but I have had the third ventricularostomy done, and need to have the shunt but I am reluctant about it. I still have a hard time coping with it because it has changed my life because of someone not paying attention on the road. I suffer the consequences and have recieved nothing for it which makes me want to just give up. I would like to talk to people that have this and I would like to know how they got it. I know quite a bit about it now but not enough to ever understand it I don’t think. To have someone cause to me is a very difficult thing for me to deal with.
