Also have 'some' hydrocephalus, diagnosed 2 years ago, and trying to avoid 'brain' surgery. (NOT mandatory, but walking is my only exercise, I rent a country cottage where my lawn is not even, walking path is unpaved, and want/need to be able to walk regularly.) Appears likely I have a cataract, so would prefer to try to address balance issues first that way.

Haven't had any serious conditions like you describe (fortunately.) Be well!

Dad lived to 98, grandbaby near my cottage about to be born, so must maximize mobility and health.
