Ross underwent the initial surgery in mid-August. He had the shunt, which is used to drain excess spinal flud, put in at that time. He has said that the shunt has been giving him “blistering headaches.”

On behalf of 411, our best wishes to Jim Ross.

Getting another brain surgery Wednesday morning to address an issue with my shunt.
Positive thoughts appreciated. Thanks
