Am I going to die young? Please let me know
Hello, I recently suffered a stroke (brain bleed) and spent two month in the hospital before college starts. I am 21 years old now and all I know is that I’ve had a shunt placed inside of me. I have no memory of the procedure I was just told it happened and that I had a revision. I am currently panicking because I heard the first two years only have around a 50/50 chance of survival. It also doesn’t help that sometimes I throw up after eating. Not all the time but still notably so. I would really like to know if I’ll be okay or not because I am moving soon. I really do not want to die and this entire experience has left me shaken.
