I can’t believe I had my emergency hydrocephalus vp shunt surgery number 2 Newley 5 years ago now seems like yesterday still haunts my memory. Blacked out for 3 days didn’t eat didn’t drink slept day and night until we realised something wasn’t right. My shunt from birth had blocked and my brain was full of fluid. By the time I arrived to hospital on day 3 I was dying according to doctors and they said if I didn’t come in when I did I would of been dead the next day and that just scares me. It started off as a migrain I have had before can’t stand without throwing up head throbbing so hard you want to pass out you need total darkness. No panadole or any meds will work… I was like that for 3 days but didn’t know it was 3 days. So I had to have emergency surgery and they were not sure I was going to make it and if I did make it I might come out disabled well I showed them. I came out alive knew everyone’s name still no loss besides some memory and my handwriting was actually better? So have had 2 surgery in my life time for hydrocephalus. I hope I won’t need anymore in my life time but my head sure does remind me that it can happen at any time. #hydocephalus #hydrocephalusawareness #hydrocephaluswarrior #vpshunt #vpshuntsurgery #vpshuntlife #melbourne #australia #blogger #scar #stvincenthospital thank you @stvincentsmelbourne for saving my life in 2018 without you I wouldn’t be here today (at Camberwell, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn_7_x9PYMs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
