He does practice also here in Florida in Titusville so off I go next week with the million questions I have and have had for the last 10 years. All I knew is that back in 2001 I had no choice to get the surgery done, never once giving thought to problems down the road. This is obviously a life long battle that I will have to fight to the end. Diana

Back from my Dr. Wed only to find out I will need another surgery. I'm at ease that he was the one who put the shunt in 9 years ago. I mentioned all the symptoms I was having and the one he was concerned about was the waking up with pressure in my head. Said that was a sign of stagnant fluid while lying down said I should be sleeping at a 30 degree angle so the fluid could drain sounds like a good nights rest to me! Also told me to go off the meds as they are not going to help. So I guess surgery is the answer so off I will go again. Says it wont be to bad but he's not the one on the operating table and the one that has to recover fast so I can go back to work so I can have health insurance. I hope that these posts can help I know they have helped me the past few months thank you all for your time and as my 19 year old son told me today. Yesterday is history Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift that why they call it the Present.
