Acoustic neuroma found during an MRI which discovered Hydrocephalis. Brain surgeon implanted a shunt, which took some getting used to. Had a problem with dizziness, lack of balance--but therapy helped. Doc decided not to do anything to the neuroma--just observe, so I still have it, and do feel sharp pain in that area fairly often.
The good part is that my balance is better, am able to exercise, speak logically, and not use a cane. Just have to take life a day at a time and be thankful that we can walk and talk and move.

Good Morning Pedie:
Yes what I've learned being a brain patient, is "OneDay At A Time" is a good motto to have.....I may not be able to do things like I did before surgery. But I still Love Life....May Not be the life I had before surgery, but I've learned to deal with it...The Good Lord Never gives us more than we can handle. He just helps us find better ways....
