Maybe good; up to u!: Please discuss with your doctor who can compare to previous results. Sounds like you are doing well now and the name of the game is to prevent more damage by controlling all stroke risk factors. You must be seriously addicted to nicotine if you are still smoking after a stroke and brain surgery! please get professional help for a quit plan.

"Hole" in the brain: This is just an imaging description of the hole in the brain where the hemorrhage happened. These areas usually fill in with cerebrospinal fluid (csf). This will not change or worsen your condition over time. The prognosis depends on whether you keep your stroke risk factors (especially blood pressure) under control (preventing another stroke is the goal).
