Her brain has suffered damage, the neuro surgents can not tell how much damage from the scan, she has had a shunt now but still quit disabled. Can anybody help me of similar case where the patient has recovered and what to expect.
I am sorry I do not know how to start a new thread.

I also am not that familiar with threads etc..but will give it a try. From my personal experience with a cc of the third ventricle I will give you what I went through. First of all I was not unconscious.I chose major surgery to remove the tumor rather than a shunt. After the surgery I forgot both long term and short term memories. I set up a regiment of walking in the local school to follow the straight line in the linoleum. I had much difficulty in doing this at first, but didn't give up. After what seemed an eternity things started to improve, then I started to go back and reread my professional texts.At his juncture I am post 3 1/2 years. Things have improved. The bottom line IT WILL TAKE TIME.DON'T GIVE UP. Tom
