I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at age 41. I was driving down a highway and the road started to spin. I went to hospital, was flown by air ambulance to Toronto. I declined to have surgery then, but a week or so later I was back and they did the surgery. I went back to work for six years, but then it just became too hard. I'm almost 59 now and things aren't perfect, but I'm able to live on my own with only over-the-counter pain meds. I do get some simple seizures, but just live through them. I've sang in 12 stage shows, just recently completed a movie and travel to concerts and sporting events on my own. I can't work anymore, but I'm enjoying the early retirement.
