Trent’s road to recovery: Encore

Hi everyone.

Yesterday I underwent ANOTHER lot of brain surgery. This was my 3rd major operation in 6 months (1 every 8 weeks now).

Two weeks ago I had my follow up appointment and scans with the Neurosurgeon where I found out that my shunt was somehow obstructed. A new cyst had formed and there was lots of swelling on my brain so they needed to revise the shunt. So so unexpected.

Along with this my abdominal and bowel issues have not yet been resolved (Suspected perforation and Sepsis) so this was the last thing I needed.

The operation yesterday took close to 4 hours and I have 5 new incision sites. Am in quite a lot of pain but still finding a few moments here and there to smile and laugh.

By the time I’ve recovered from this lot, it will be a year since I’ve been able to work full-time so as you can imagine things are getting pretty tight financially.

I’m absolutely blown away and so incredibly grateful for everyone’s generosity in the last fundraiser and do not have any expectations whatsoever, but was not expecting this latest hiccup at all and there are quite a lot of out of pocket fee’s to get through and living expenses to stay on top of so literally any help would be so appreciated.

Love
Trent
