Hi @nskinner5 have you spoken to your vascular surgeon for the risks involved with the surgery and what to expect as an outcome? In my case preventing the aneurism would have yielded a better outcome. My cerebral aneurism involved 5 blood vessels connecting at a junction in the cerebellum. As a result I am dealing with diplopia, imbalance, motion sickness, dizziness, and muscle weakness. All those health issues at once limit my mobility. It is very difficult for me to walk on uneven surfaces like the lawn or graveled driveway. I am a high fall risk so I have to be very cautious. The cerebellum is the part of the brain that gets affected when one drinks so I have issues with coordination. Basically, I walk like a drunk without having had a drink, lol. I am on no medications either because I choose not to be. I see no reason for it. I was told by my neuro vascular surgeon that I no longer have the AVM but I do suffer from its deficits. It is a long and slow process to recovery. Very debilitating. I will be happy to answer your questions to help you come to a decision. Best wishes to you. Toni
