GREAT TIME!!! It was fun to put personalities with the names, faces, and stories. Lots of inspiration, understanding, and support. Many, many thanks to Ben Munoz for taking the time and making the effort to attend. Kudos and Thanks to Debra for organizing the event. I spent my time at one end of the table, so my apologies to those at the other end for not spending more time with you. Next time I will!

It was interesting to see the "non-brain" AVMers, in addition to those of us with things "on our minds." The stories were inspirational and the support was incredible. Thank you All!

I hope more can make it to the next event. I know there were several pictures snapped... where are they? I hope at least one of them came out well. ;-)

Is it not too late to change from "might attend" to "attending"?

Comment by Debra on March 3, 2012 at 5:56pm

We now have a location - Riverside seems to be a mid point for most people and less driving for your guys. Still looking at places for brunch/lunch, which I should have up by mid week. Any suggestions in the next few days is appreciated. Any change in attendance, please let me know. Looking forward to seeing everyone!!

Comment by Debra on February 27, 2012 at 10:30am

Hey Ben - Leaning towards Orange County since nobody lives in La who will be attending. If you are staying in La during the brunch and no car, we would be more than happy to pick you up and chauffeur you around. Will get back to you by mid week about definite locale. Understandably, people do not want to drive to far from their home.

Hi, Debra, any updates on location? I'm in LA now.

Comment by SoCalLady on February 26, 2012 at 10:31am

I live in OC. Right now I'm a bit gun shy about going any where far.

Comment by Kristina Stephens on February 24, 2012 at 1:10am
I wish my husband and could attend but we cant go all the way up to Los Angeles because he is on call for the marine corps. It would be too far for him. If it was a little big closer we might be able to make it. Just keep in mind Im in San Diego

My bruit was my connection to my heart, so I always thought (when I never…

"Executive Function Disorder"

Posted by Hiro on May 23, 2012 at 8:50pm 10 Comments

I had the neurologist appointment on Monday, and he diagnosed me with "Executive Dysfunction Syndrome" that he thinks stemmed from some sort of damage to my left frontal lobe during/after my surgery (that was where my 3 AVMs were), contributing…
