Hello Miss Holly:

I had my cyst out in 99 and then 2 weeks later had a VP shunt put in. Internally, I can't feel it at all. Externally, I can feel the bump and follow the tubing down to my chest.

I have an executive function disorder. I can only work on one task at a time and cannot multi-task... no biggie, really.

I also thought that the shunt surgery was far worse but my wife tells me the reality is otherwise.

***edited as those links are against guidelines***

I wish you the best of health.

Take care,
Matthew
