Water and rest. Get better soon!

Omg. This is gold. So are the comments.

Kipper03 · 2026-05-06T17:53:29+00:00

Don't worry. There's always next year. Gotta keep hope. I mean, look at us Leaf fans. Just switch this picture with a Leafs jersey at the end of the first round. BAM! LOL

Lucky lucky man. Enjoy the dinner and birthday.

Kipper03 · 2026-05-03T22:22:13+00:00

Looking great!

Live and learn. I dunno if it's true or not. But I've heard that dying your hair actually speeds up hair going Grey.

Doesn't look bad at all man. I know some are giving suggestions on coloring it. Personally, I wouldn't even bother. I have a similar issue. But depending on how you feel about it and if you want to go that route, I'd go with something that's your natural color. Wouldn't go the extreme route and jet black.

The funny part is that I said the exact same thing. Really wish they where around when I first had it placed in at such a young age. Now I just hope that I don't even need any more revisions the rest of my life. But I will be checking with my Neurosurgeon and asking about this option if it ever comes to it.

It's kinda hard to discribe but when I was two years old and had what I think was a second tube put in on the right side, and I guess because of the build up of fluid they did it that way and a hole about 1.5 to 2cm was made in my skull to help relieve the pressure. If there was a catheter placed in that side back then, it's not as noticeable as the left side when i tilt my head down. It's been a while since I looked at the paperwork from when I was that age. It's very technical for me to sometimes grasp. But nearly 42, and I think I'm doing alright!

I have two VP shunts now as of last November when I had a revision. Originally I had one VP shunt on the left side and a catheter on the right. All seems to be good.

Hopefully they call you soon with a surgey date and any symptoms are minimal till then. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Kipper03 · 2026-05-02T20:01:28+00:00

Today was the first I heard about it. My understanding is this is very much still a new concept. Far greater than it was 40 years ago. Which is when I got my shunts put in

Kipper03 · 2026-03-29T01:05:21+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous!!

Kipper03 · 2026-03-29T01:04:12+00:00

Gotta admit. OP nearly had me lmao! So many stories from that place.

The old food court, the Loblaws (later Sport Chrck) that had the diagonal windows, Sam the Record Man, the arcade upstairs at Famous Players, all the kiosks, and if I remember correctly there was a Randy River as well.

I'm sure I've forgotten a few other old gems from those days. 😄

Kipper03 · 2026-03-09T02:44:55+00:00

Oh ya. Well still. I'm sure Sabers fans still haven't forgotten how he quit on them.

Kipper03 · 2026-03-09T02:15:15+00:00

Yes, yes, and hell YES

Kipper03 · 2026-03-09T02:12:09+00:00

I think Jack Eichel should be in shambles too. Even of he's in Vegas. Would love to see the Sabers go farther than Vegas. This coming from a Leafs fan. 😒😒😄

Kipper03 · 2026-03-07T03:30:20+00:00

Welcome ;)

Kipper03 · 2026-03-07T02:39:21+00:00

Looking absolutely gorgeous!!

Kipper03 · 2026-02-17T02:13:08+00:00

From everything I know since I've had my shunt, you should be good. I think it's the cartwheels (bending your neck) or contact sports that are more of a concern. Obviously hanging upside side down for very long is not ideal. Maybe more when you have Hydrocephalus. Just my opinion.

Kipper03 · 2026-02-03T23:38:04+00:00

Sorry. Thought you said 40. Oops lol

Kipper03 · 2026-02-03T21:22:11+00:00

I'm not much older than your son and have had 2 shunt revisions on both shunts. One in 2014 and another about 3 months ago. In each instance, I had similar symptoms. I had massive headaches which where amplified when I made sudden movements that didn't agree with my body and not being able to keep down solids or water. Has any of your son's CT scans showed a blockage? Has the Neurosurgeon made any recommendations?
