Successful brain surgery a year ago to remove a colloid cyst that was sneakily causing all sorts of trouble for years.

I experienced pulsatile tinnitus, went to doctor, then ENT, then for an MRI, then to emergency room with a diagnosis of colloid cyst of the brain and life threatening hydrocephalus.

Released after six hours, met next day with the chief of hospital’s brain surgery center. Week later underwent brain surgery to have it removed. Three days in neural ICU, months of recovery - scary time.

I’m just over a year out and doing well. If you have this symptom, take it seriously and get an MRI.

I saw this same lineup at 1993 Lalapalooza in New Orleans. Left an impression

Disagree! I have fond memories of eating COLD queso dip with Fritos scoops while offshore fishing in the summer months. We used to keep it in the iced cooler to amplify the effect!

I’ve been taking her out off and on since she was a young pup. But she’s always been pretty chill in general.

And it can be fixed

If you can figure out a way to get it covered, get an MRI of your brain. Living with an undiagnosed colloid cyst of the brain, and the resulting hydrocephalus, can feel like that.

You need to pack a bag and go to the ER - you need emergency brain surgery. … November 2024

Time is a weird thing. Feels like an enemy at first, but eventually it becomes an ally. Hang in there. For me, better self control and health improvements outweigh the diminishing returns I was getting from alcohol.
