Thanks Barb. It kind of confirms what our doctors said I could have been on disability all my life, but I was glad I worked for 28 years.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written chapter. It is one of those things when we are subject to other's discretion about health issues, we have not much to say or do to make it easier for ourselves.

Thanks for the review. Much appreciated. I think my Dad did the best thing. As the docs said I cold have got brain damage from the release of the fluid at birth. probably a Catch 22 thing ha. I noticed one of the few reviewables that were going has finished now.
Comment from MelB
My niece was born with fluid on the brain too, and the doctors said the same thing, that it will be reabsorbed. She's only 7 now, so I guess time will tell. Unlike you, my husband's family all have big heads, literally and because of pride too! I think they would have had to put me out, before sticking a needle in my eye. I don't think I could hold still for that. I rarely go to KFC. I do eat a lot of grilled chicken though.

Thanks Sis. Yes have them keep an eye on that. I am so sorry I never got a hold of the original CatScan as severe brain deterioration was indicated...after 30 years of the fluid eating away at my brain. I praise God how He preserved me even in spite of it. The Neurosurgeon was so keen to take my case even as such a busy man, after the psychatrist told him all about me.

What an interesting chapter in your life. I had never heard of hydrocephalus extending to adulthood. Wow, good thing they found it and were able to drain it.
I like the way your wife was able to wake you from the anesthesia, and your mother was not. Do we just learn to tune them out?? haha,
Great job of describing your conditions and response to them.
Take care,
Rhonda

smooth, I enjoyed this piece, thanks for sharing.

Your writing style is brilliant, really gets you hooked. Had to laugh at the medical experiences not because I am cruel but have experienced many myself. Great read.

Thanks very much. If you read the previous chapter it was full of errors they are now corrected thanks to Jax Franklin's detailed advice.
Comment from royowen
Well done Geoff, my admiration mate, you've been through an awful lot medically speaking, I think you've had my share, my wife's and in fact my whole family's as well. I've heard of a lot of these things but some I haven't. And my one and only stint in hospital was when I was only 17, concussion sustained in a car accident, I checked out the next day. But a great episode addressing some of your medical history, they are really scared of litigation, well done, blessings, Roy

Comment from Sasha
This is one I could definitely relate to. I have had Sleep Apnea since I was a young child. They have come a long way in treatment and diagnosis since 1990. Snoring usually comes with it but not all with Sleep Apnea snore. I had the machine for 6 months but it didn't help much. My disorder was quite serious and I often would go up to 6 days without sleep...not good.
I was told by an ophthalmologist that floaties are fairly common and not necessarily a sign of detached retina. I have had similar surgery to remove a blood clot in my right eye, the result of a stroke. I am now blind in that eye. And another to remove my left tear duct. I will never forget the giant needle coming toward my eye as the doctor said, "Now, don't move". Scary stuff.

Thanks very muchg for relating so much. A friend recently had cataracts removed from both eyes and he did NOT want me to tell him of the drama of the local anaesthetic for both eye ops (on right eye only) I had. Apparently they did his anaesthetic different so maybe things have improved since mine. Interesting about your Sleep Apnoea we knew there was tow kinds but seems your doctors found a thord one ha.
Comment from Gladness
My, you have had quite a time with health issues. I am one American who has had their gallbladder out, and I don't even eat much fried food. Oh well, we must thank God for each day.
Found one place you might want to check:
...but Then to come back and have them again
(. But, then)
Take care, my friend,
Anita

Hi Anita well good on you for going easy on the fat. I could not have mine out as I had problems with a collapsed lung in the op when they took out the first shunt. Seems they were loath to do anymore General Anaesthetics on me. Thanks for the review will go back and look for that problem area. I just managed to fix Chapter 27 yesterday after issues with the good old FS editor and so on. I might put it up with some carrots soon if you wanna wait. God Bless.
