Brain Surgery

hydrocephalus shunt surgery

Had brain surgery on 17 April 2026 — a shunt revision for hydrocephalus. Woke up worried about college work, which is on-brand. The recovery period has been characterised by insisting everything is fine while very clearly not being fine. Writing is slower — ninety minutes for a blog post that would normally take thirty. Feeling numb and disconnected afterward. 567 commits across 30 repositories in April despite the surgery being on the 17th. The body needs rest; the brain has other ideas.
