Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

Today is the twenty eighth day of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and today I thought I would do a little interview with one of my friends on Facebook to get their input of what they have learned so far. I want to get their input because I want them to share their answers to the questions I asked them. I feel that this is a way we can continue to learn about Hydrocephalus. Here is what I interviewed from tonight from one of my Facebook friends. Q. If I had to ask you in your own words of what you learned about Hydrocephalus so far, what would you say? Also if you could tell me in your own words what you have learned about what you've learned on what people with Hydrocephalus have to live with what would you say?  Q.  am doing my blog awareness post and I want to get some input on what your thoughts are of the questions I have asked.        A.Well I just feel it is a hidden illness,you know  like normal on the outside.I really cant speak of what people have to endure but I on the other hand after being shunted forget I have hydrocephalus      Q.So you feel, that it's something people don't know about, kind of like when I did my video. And you feel that you can not speak for the other people who live with it, because you don't know what they had to go through, and you also feel that after you, yourself have had a shunt put in, you have forgotten that you, yourself have Hydrocephalus. Is that correct? Also thank you for your input, and if you don't mind I would like to post your answers with the questions I have asked tonight for my awareness post.       A. That's fine.    A.    thank you, this interview has been fun. I hope that I can use the questions along with everything that you have answered for me.  A.I appreciate your time and your answers. So here is everything from tonight's first interview q and a tonight. I hope that as we continue to learn about Hydrocephalus you will learn why it's so important. Hydrocephalus doesn't have a cure, people pass away and others survive. People living with Hydrocephalus have had more brain surgeries than birthdays. I would say that is true for most people. I wouldn't say that is true for me all the time, because I've only had to go through three. I can't say that is true for others who live with the condition because they have gone through way more than those who have Hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus also stands for water on the brain. The only treatment for Hydrocephalus is brain surgery which requires having a shunt put in. Shunts quit, they malfunction, they get infected, but those with Hydrocephalus don't give up or quit. I enjoy being an advocate because I am helping those who don't know about Hydrocephalus learn more about why this month is truly important. September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month and it Matters. People who are like me who have Hydrocephalus Matter. Awareness Matters. I can not wait to share more with you tomorrow but until then please enjoy today's Hydrocephalus Awareness Post.
