Anniversary" dates are always hard and I totally understand how you feel the AVM has taken over your life. What helped me was to re-phrase that feeling/thought. I decided to look at it from the perspective of a battle I was in and I was a warrior fighting against an AVM that was trying to destroy my life. And when I got treatment it was me fighting back against an enemy and I was going to be the winner and the AVM was going to be the loser. An AVM does change your life and the life you have post_AVM treatment will not be the same life you had before you were diagnosed but life is always about starting over and it's not easy but you can do it and have a richer life.

The truth is, you will never be the same. But you can't drown yourself in the sorrow of that. Be excited that this experience will make you STRONGER than the president, more fearless than a soldier, and more understanding than a doctor. You will also have to be your best advocate! I tell students this all of the time. I still have weeks when I cry because of my situation and no one understands and I can't do the things i used to. But there are those times when I see the best in all of this. And the more we boost up our awesome-ness the more others will do the same. Btw u never told me where u were having it and who is doing your surgery.
