letting fla know I am going in for brain surgery#3

IHad a 12hr siezesure  yesterday so I am pretty messed up.& this new spell check sucks ass.
It appears I have beat the tumor . pushing 2 years know no change - 3 years of no change = cancer free.

but my injured beat up brain keeps producing excess brain & spinal   fluid.

this fluid is squeezing my tissues and causing siezures, and paralysis like I had last year.

I had a surgery to correct this last May.  Now another is needed .  this time they want to put in a shunt & drain the fluid into my stomach to digest & be pissed out.

I am asking for some humor to make this easier I am mot very comfortably with digesting my own spinal fluid for the rest of my life.I am spooked by the thought of mad cow type neurological issues.

it brings new meaning to the term pissing your brains out

thanks I miss you guys but we are having a good time driving the mountains of Wyoming in the snow looking for elk, Bighorns, cougars . ect.

O.R. nurse here. I've been there for the insertion of many VP shunts. They work well and will help you out. You won't even know it's there. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hey op I'm diagnosed with a leak in spinal fluid, heavy blow to my Mellon.

Searching for what's causing my head to feel like it's going to pop.

8  yrs in.

I hope you have a great outcome,good luck man., I understand seizures as my GF has had hundreds.100% of the body running at 200%.

Magnesium levels are something to look at for seizures, just a thought in case the siezure was not caused by the spinal fluid pressure.

spoke to the dr. he said no tube down my throat which is great but I will get a traditional shunt which is a shame since  look so good with short hair.

We really need to petition to get Howie back

Too late since they changed the shunt plan...  and you asked for humor.

Most people have piss for brains.  You almost got to have brains for piss.
