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!

@shanehall I'm sorry, as I know this is very difficult for the family when someone changes. This isn't a difficult surgery to get a shunt, and it isn't uncommon. It sounds like her providers are avoiding it. She may need another opinion from a neurologist who works with problems in elderly patients. I'm glad you reached out here. In my father in law's case, he was an Alzheimers patient in a nursing home, and the nursing home suggested the surgery because he was aggressive and combative. It may have helped a little, but the Alzheimers may have been causing the aggression too.
