About the Book

Random falls, loss of bladder control, sudden episodes of mental confusion. I never knew what each day might hold until I finally got an answer to this and many other mysterious symptoms that was plaguing me. This is my story of physical and cognitive decline and journey to get answers. I went from looking at possibly entering a nursing home to regaining the life I had enjoyed previously after surgical intervention. I faced many challenges along the way, and had support from my family members who were not going to give up on me. Their support in turn encouraged me to keep searching for answers.


About the Author

Kathleen is a retired Radiologic Technologist. This is her first book, a memoir inspired by her journey with getting diagnosed with a debilitating disorder Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). This condition is often confused with early onset of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other forms of dementia. While living with uncertainty of where this complex condition was leading, Kathleen sought out answers from numerous doctors. She refused to give up and was finally helped by a neurologist and a neurosurgeon at the Gardner Neurological Institute at the University of Cincinnati Hospital. This author feels like “it is her mission” now to educate others who may be struggling to find their own answers. Kathy lives in Cincinnati, Ohio and is a widow, mother of three adult children, and “Mimi” to seven Grandchildren.
