My sister and I were very close, attached at the hip since she was born until we got into our fortys and she was diagnosed with chiari syndrome at Loma Linda Medical Center. She was sent to Neuro out of Long beach Univ. Hosp. for surgery.

She has changed so much, I don't know what to do for her. She hates me and almost our entire family, she is in pain, has terrible anxiety and worries excessively about her occipital area being injured so close to her brain. It is almost like she gained a split personality with this syndrome.

I am so grieved over losing her, I can't hardly breathe sometimes.
