March 8. New hemorrhage in the hippocampus. But that can’t be the reason for the eye problem, because the hippocampus is doing completely different things. A bright white spot in one image, like the inside of a candle flame, and a larger dark area in the other. It wasn’t there in January.

My neurologist says various things. That she is not worried about it. After all, I have already turned fifty-three with such structures. But how often do they bleed, and how much? Surgery is not worth it: I have too many of them, it is not a good ratio of risk and benefit.

It is surprisingly inconsequential to know about it.
