Mostly dead, just not completely dead

That's a quote from Princess Bride, but it was pretty applicable to me.
I had a cavernous angioma on 29 November, and it took me nearly six months to recover. (Actually, I haven't completely recovered but it, like so many things in life, is an on-going process.)
Trust me, you don't want one.
I didn't either, but it turns out that 1 in 200 people have an incipient one and don't know it.
Next time you have an MRI, ask them to look for one.
Not sure what you can do if they find one (most are inoperable), but better to know in advance.
Came as quite a surprise to me, trust me.
I'm better now, but it hasn't been fun.
