Good afternoon,

Im not too sure how to use Neuro Talk yet?

Im 41 and suffer from Hydrochephalus and Arnold Chiari Malformation. I live in South Africa. I had quite a few surgeries, my last two being last year Feb and May 2013. We are not quite sure as to what happened after my last operation but i started suffering very bad seizures and couldnt understand, speak, write etc. I was discharged after a week as they didnt know what else they could do for me. It took me about a month to get my speech back. I had a wonderful friend and mentor who worked with me each and every day, teaching to me to read again, spell baby words, speak and write. God is awsome. Here I am now working at the Nursery School again and driving, reading, writing, and speaking.

Without wonderful friends, family, strangers etc, i would never be were i am now.

God Bless,

Love

Samantha

Just go into either one of these forums, Hydrochephalus and Arnold Chiari Malformation, there you will find a good number of friends there with a large number of different messages. You and click on one of the forums or start a new Thread in the forum by clicking the New Thread at the top of the listing. It will just take you a short whilt to learn thet steps, then you will be off and running. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
