@cinlu, it's a lot to take in having 2 conditions and 2 head surgeries in quick succession. You may also be interested in these related discussions about NPH;

Cinlu, how was your recovery from the shunt placement? Do you have questions about your upcoming surgery in February?

Thank you Colleen.
My shunt placement on December 9th was sidelined with the Neurosurgeon knicking my liver when he was sending the tubing to the. peritoneal area and needed a general surgeon to perform an emergency to stop the bleeding. Have had intense pain since in the liver area but shunt is healing nicely.
I have been to the surgeons office, had an xray and to the Emergency Room, had a CT Scan with contrast. Doctors can’t seem to find an answer. Have to be on pain meds to control the pain.
