Scalp pain returned last night briefly and the last two weeks I've had dizziness when moving my head.
I had some walking issues earlier this week, almost tripped over my legs again in the living room.

Stella the cat |
According to my neurologist who I saw earlier last month, I have something called
parasthesias, transient right leg weakness and slight
dysmetria.
In October, my cat Stella turned 19. She's helped me recover through four
shunt revision surgeries (2009-2014) and multiple brain injuries in 2014.

11/2/19 - Right side of head scar from shunt revision surgery in May 2014 |
This weekend, someone asked me about the scar on the side of my head. Most of the time it can't be seen, it's only noticeable when I get a haircut. I don't mind talking about my brain injuries sometimes, it is usually a good 30 to 45 minute story from start to finish. However, yesterday, I chose the shorter version of the story explaining I had had surgery it was long story. Wherein the woman replied, 'You're going to be okay right?" and of course, I said, 'Yes, I think I will be''
What a nice random encounter to have with someone on a cold and windy day. A few days ago, the wind in the evening was bothering my forehead.
My shunt is behaving since then.... No pain for a week already, which is a small miracle in itself.
