The seizure which caused me to become dx'ed with the AVM occurred June 17, 1988. I was 1 month past my 27 birthday.
I have now lived as an AVM patient for more than half my life.
I hope that was easily understood.
People, there is life with these things. Sure, adjustments have to be made but every day above the sod is victory!
Every day above the sod is a victory? Well said!
To me this is an attitude which shows tons of courage.
I’d rather be smelling the roses than pushing up daisies, right? I like your spirit, tdz… 
Better days ahead as my mother always says:)
