I seem to recall also reading that the blood would have caused the gloves to stiffen, so even if they were the right size, all of those factors together played a part to make the glove not fit at just the right (or wrong) time.

I'm also hooking on as I don't have a question - just wanted to say thank you for raising awareness, you're awesome! So many people I know don't even know about Hydrocephalus.

I also have an uncle who was born (in 1955) with hydrocephalus, and very similarly to /u/straighttoplaid had a shunt installed. He lived pretty happily until 1980, when he unfortunately passed away. My grandparents consented to donate his brain to be studied so more could be understood about the condition and how the shunt worked. This happened 3 years before I was born, so sadly I never knew him but everyone says what a sweet guy he was. He liked to make/sew teddy bears.

Best wishes to you, OP, and thanks again for your post!

He was Coach? No wonder I was totally fucking kicking myself wondering why his voice was so familiar in a zombie killing setting.

I should really IMDB these things.

Yep. I was pretty amazed how deluded his thought process was in that book.
