I see. That explains the acquired hydrocephalus. It’s common in premature neonates.
Hey! You are doing awesome! 
All the best to you for your college! Take it easy and enjoy the journey. 
Ah, that’s cool. Thanks!

This is awesome!!
I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at age 7 after my grade 1 teacher raised concerns about my extreme lack of balance. I had a VP shunt inserted in June 2010 (it’s essentially a long tube that drains the extra fluid out of my head and into my abdomen)

I have that too! Yay shunts!
How old are you now?
Seventeen. So I’ll have had it for ten years in June.

Had mine two months after I was born, I think, so nineteen years.

So, funny thing. Whenever I get a brain freeze, I always feel it around my shunt as opposed to the front of my head.
Yikes!
Yeah. Fun times.
My friend’s tube broke a while ago. She’s fine.
Mine malfunctioned in summer of 2010, but it’s been fine since.
That’s good
This is an MRI, it’s what they use to check my shunt. 
I hate MRIs. They make me so anxious. I have to have my mom or dad (whoever came to the appointment with me) hold my foot while I’m getting the scan so that I don’t freak out.
(they also ruined the song What Do You Mean? for me)
