I went to see my neurosurgeon yesterday. Having two shunt revisions in one year, I was seeing my neurosurgeon more often than my neurologist. It's almost been another six months since my last shunt surgery (11/22/2016) and I'm feeling no symptoms of a malfunction.
As a result, my neurosurgeon declared I was free and clear from seeing him for another year. Of course, we agreed within that year if I start to have symptoms of another malfunction I will make an appointment to see him sooner.
I was told by someone close to me "Hope for the best but expect the worst." I've decided to hope for the best. I hope this shunt lasts at least the average of ten years, if not more.
