Grin New to this site-Shunt revision & Metronic Shunt inserted

Good afternoon,

Thank You very much for this wonderful Support Group.

I have had quite a few brain ops during my life time. I am now recovering from last years two brain operations whereby i had a metronic shunt inserted of which it hasnt been switched on as yet as it is a back up should my other shunt fail again. (It has failed and had to be repaired and replaced twice already). I suffer from Hydrocephalus and Arnold Chiari Malformation.

I am now back at work, driving again etc and my headaches are a thing of the past. I just suffered from quite a few severe seizures after my last operation last year May but have since been put on Seizure meds and coping much much better and my seizures are controlled. I wonder if i will have to have any further revisions or brain operations in the far future? How have you all managed with the thought of having to think of further revisions etc in some time in the future?

Thank You for being there for support.

Take care,

Kind regards


Samantha
p.s. How do i change my user name? It seems a bit formal? Thanks
