I was in the hospital for 2 days. The hair will grow back, don't worry about that. A scarf, hat will hide it. I wore a hat for about 2 weeks because it scared the kids I was working with.

The shunt caused me to loose about 95% of short and long term memory, something the doc did not explain to me. The surgery was about 3 years ago and I sense that about 30% of long term memory is still missing. I had to develop several aids to help with the short term stuff, I could not tell you what I did the day before. It has gotten better but still have some rough days remembering things.
