I know the feeling all too well. I managed to find my DH's results on his on-line medical records long before receiving any information from the doctors. I dissected and read that report so many times I thought I had it memorized. I googled every single word and line trying to understand everything it said.
It can be an agonizing wait. Thinking of you

Results are in via hospital portal...not from the doctors office just yet. "small vessel microvascular ischemic changes"...which is a common cause of dementia. I guess thats better than all kinds of plaque or a tumor.0

I have this. My neurologist called it leucoairiosis.
Addendum: Monitor cardiovascular health and keep blood pressure in the recommended range for her age.
