EXACTLY, the odds are in your favour, of course there are risks, but there are risks to everything that we do.
90-95%, would you spend your last pound/dollar/etc on a lottery ticket if that was your chances of winning a huge jackpot?
I know i would!!
The 5-10% chance of a complication is small, if a complication does arise, it can be fixed. Ild rather experience a complication from surgery than live with a malfunctioning shunt.
Please do keep us updated, and of course i hope the best decision gets made for you to make you as healthy as possible. =)
Take care =)

Jade,
Sorry I assumed that you were in the USA, I guess it really is the
World Wide Web!
I went back to work last night and while I had a bit of a headache, the painkillers took care of it pretty much!
Not much I can do now but wait and hope it doesn't get any worse.
I agree, if I only had a 5-10% chance of losing in a lottery, I would buy a ticket for sure! *LOL*
But he does have the final word, so I have to put my faith in him for now!
I think he will end up operating after the next CT scan, provided that the hydrocephalus is still there, which I think it will be, can't see it going away!
You take care too!
