I consider you mighty useful, in the scheme of things. But it's true, I only experience the good stuff. Pretty powerful though, it shines through all the rest.

I’ve always wanted to be older. I suppose it’s because I’ve wanted to be wiser and less foolish than I really am. Wisdom, however, seems to come with a price as we pay with our years.

I enjoy reading your posts, Mr. Heath.

Bill,

One of my IP clients has developed a CSF shunt that is implanted intravascularly (just like a stent) using a delivery catheter into the Inferior Petrol Sinus to access the cerebellopontine (CP) angle cistern, so the shunt need only be a few inches in length, and drains directly into the jugular vein. No burr hole for access. Was invented by a couple of brain docs at Tufts. They are called "CereVasc" You may be interested. https://cerevasc.com/

Best to you

Bill, do you know what initially caused the NPH? My Husbands 84 year old brother was diagnosed with this and did get a shunt draining into his stomach (?). He hated to doctor, had no interest in helping the situation , “took to his bed” and died. I keep the duct tape in place across my mouth but he was fully vaxxed and boosted before he suddenly developed the water on his brain. Hope you are at least pain free in the midst of your debilitating exhaustion. Healing wishes from Colorado

Thanks Bill...I had a gold crown on one of my teeth that popped off a few weeks ago, (luckily didn't swallow it, and now I have started my gold collection like all the folks are telling me to do!!)...but whats funny is that the crown was badly matched for my bite, and losing it is making my teeth work better. No pain, yet, just the ability to have my teeth match again is really satisfying. (I don't think that dentist was very good...!) All that said, thanks for sharing the health info, details are better than generalities and I treasure you missives all the more when I understand how tough you are.

I don't travel much, because I simply don't like to, but maybe a trip to Mexico would get my teeth fixed and maybe I would just stay....hmmmm.
