I sure hope so. My dad died at 78 almost 2 years ago from cerebral amloid angiography, which I'm learning is very similar to CMI. I'm pretty healthy but do have high cholesterol, I do take meds for it. I guess what happens happens all we can do is roll with it

I would like to add how important it is to get outside and walk, walk, walk. I was so crippled from my stroke. I could not walk without a walker. But after a full month I was using my cane. Another few weeks I didn't need that.

I could not even sing Happy Birthday to my son when he turned 19. That is how bad I was in. Nor do I remember that event. The nurses came and sang to him at my bedside. It makes me cry to even to think about it. That's how much I was impaired.

Has your doctor informed you fully of your situation? If not get a new doctor.

You need to be reassured, not left in limbo.

Hugs to you sweet lady!!
