Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

Today is the twenty second day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month. Today I want to talk about how people who don't know or have Hydrocephalus, how it would be hard if someone with Hydrocephalus came up to someone who didn't know or have it, asked them if they knew what it was.  So let's just say for a minute, that someone anyone who has Hydrocephalus came up to you and said, Hi do you know what Hydrocephalus is? Then let's say the person answered with no, but then asked a question back by saying, What is it? So then the person who has Hydrocephalus explained to the person who has never heard of Hydrocephalus, doesn't even have it, and that person took their time to hear about what Hydrocephalus is. It's important to tell others about the condition known as Hydrocephalus because so many people don't know what it is. Shunts quit, malfunction, get infected, but the people who are living with Hydrocephalus don't give up or quit. September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and It Matters. Awareness Matters. People living with Hydrocephalus Matter. People with Hydrocephalus pass away from it, and those who don't and survive are fortunate and blessed. Do you know that millions of people living with Hydrocephalus have to go to the hospital to have their shunt replaced. So many people have to go through surgeries each day, to get a new shunt. There is no cure for Hydrocephalus, and the only treatment for it is brain surgery which requires a shunt being put in. It's our job to educate and teach people on Hydrocephalus. It's our job to tell others about Hydrocephalus. It's our job to make sure that the people who don't know about Hydrocephalus, learn about it. I can't wait to share something new with you tomorrow but until please enjoy today's awareness post. I enjoy being an advocate, because I feel like me being one I am helping someone by teaching them and educating them on Hydrocephalus. I hope these posts have continued to help you and someone else learn about Hydrocephalus and I hope they do still. This Month Matters to me and to millions of others living with Hydrocephalus. I hope that as you continue to read these posts, that you will want to continue to learn about Hydrocephalus and why this month is important, and I hope that inspires you to continue to help spread awareness this month as well. September Is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and It Matters. Hydrocephalus Matters Always.
