@shanehall Hello and welcome to Connect. I can relate some experience with my father in law a few years ago. He developed hydrocephalous with increased pressure on the brain from spinal fluid in his elderly years. He had surgery that placed a shunt to drain the excess fluid from the brain. Here is the Mayo Clinic information about Hydrocephalous and treatment.

Has your mother had a personality change or loss of balance? Has she been evaluated by a neurologist?

She has had a major personality change. She is the most irratable person ive evet met after they patched her up. Walking on egg shells 24/7. She hasnt lost balance and she has been evaluated and thats how they found out she had too much fluid. But then the doctors told her there was nothing they could do about it .
Thanks for the info!
