Miche,
Number one thing you have to realize most people here are having complications and looking for answers. The millions of hydro peeps that live nearly normal lives don't have the need to reach out for help and support like when we are having complications.

If you chech out my blog I have alot of different links to hydr support sites and different shunt types.

As hydrocephalus progress it becomes lees of an option of weath you want a shunt. It becomes more of a quality of life issue.

I am susprised you are not having issues with controling your bladder. That is usually one of the first systems after a head injury.

There is also another procedure done but I knoe little about it besides a shunt which is called an ETV. Only certain types of hydro people are able to get this.

Please come check out my blog and I hope you find some information that may help.
