Do I worry that my MCI diagnosis will one day progress to dementia?

(Chapter 1 Symptoms and Diagnosis in my book)
Fourteen years after my MCI diagnosis, it is not something that I spend my time or energy worrying about. I would rather deal with the "now" and not the "what ifs". I'm not going to say that I don't think about it but it isn't something that I think about often. It definitely does not consume my life.
I refuse to live my life worrying about "what if my diagnosis changes?" I can't prevent it from happening. If it happens, then I will have to deal with it. I choose to live my life with a positive attitude because I just don't want to go there unless I have to. Otherwise, it is just wasted energy and stress!
