Six brain surgeries.

Hydrocephalus.

A mechanical shunt that drains cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to the abdominal cavity.

Roughly eight hours.

I want people to understand the power of social media. When done correctly, can, can really introduce you to some amazing people.
I just shot him a message. I didn't know if he was going to reply, but to me it was like, let's, why not? Why not reach out, say hi, I appreciate what you're doing in the space and let's go from there. And so I think that's an untapped market for everybody is just shoot your shot. Reach out.
Six brain surgeries. Talk to us about that condition.
Called hydrocephalus. So, so you've got your brain, you got your skull, and in the middle you got cerebral spinal fluid. Your body brings it up, drains it out naturally, absorbs it through the body. Mine brings it in, but none drains out naturally. So I've got a mechanical device called a shunt that goes into my brain, drains out the schwal, spinal fluid brings down to my abdominal cavity. It's a man made piece of plastic. It'll break and it's going to break. If it breaks. I've got roughly eight hours. That's kind of of the estimate.
I can't fathom that as I'm sitting here right now that, okay, something happened. I've got eight hours.
Just having a little bit of a plan to know that we know the steps, we know where to go. At the end of the day I'm going to need brain surgery if it breaks. So that's obvious and most major hospitals can do that. So it's just about knowing the right place to go that has the best team place.
