ECE- so funny!  Hopefully that brought back GOOD memories of all your time spent at Swedish.  That was actually nurse Mary's last time as my nurse.  She left the next week for a new job at a new hospital.  Totally going to miss her.  She is awesome.  :)

I'm so glad I saw this! How you make something so tough seem so 'sunny' is amazing. I know it's a lot of work to get this done, so thanks for you and your friends for doing it. Loved it!

You inspired me to have a better day today, reminding me that every day can be a fun day if you choose to see it that way.

Hugs!! Sharyn

Mindy those are my favorite sunglasses too! I've had them for years now and have somehow managed not to lose them, break them, or run over them with my car (rest in peace my cute brown ones.) Dr. Yakes is awesome. He is such a kind and gentle soul. Really any patients dream doc and has spoiled me for sure. And the editing was fun. Totally got carried away. And we were laughing so much when I added the bubbling sound to the blood from the IV. Sick sense of humor...

super cute! I love your sunglasses, I havent' seen a pair so cool here in Australia. The sweetheart gown is adorable. The camera work looks a bit different from Josh's. I'm glad it went smoothly. Dr Yakes seems nice. Nice editing too. I've watched it twice :)

Thanks Patti! I totally wish I had been doing this for the past three years. Don't know why I didn't think about it and now I'm almost at the end of my AVM journey and treatments. Man!!! But I'll be making another in 3 weeks for my surgery. I'm guessing that one will be a doozy...and I'm just hoping that most of the video does NOT consist of the camera continually tilting sideways and falling to the ground along with Hubby while he passes out from the blood & guts. He isn't all "science-y" like my friend Carrie was for this one!!! I don't anticipate any close ups of anything on the next one! ha!
