did they said will they embolization him first ?
I donāt really have any problems do to the surgeries other than I lost a little bit of my right eyes peripheral vision. Vision in my right eye isnāt as good as my left. Some times I put one contact lense in to make them balanced.

I will definitely try. Feel free to message me that day. I know that itās reassuring to hear from people as soon as possible after their surgery. It gives us relief.
The neurosurgeon will not do embolization. He feels itās not warranted.
Good luck and prayers to you and your family. Iāll be on here everyday before his surgery, so feel free to message me. Iām not the patient, but I feel like it because itās my 15 year old son.
Iāll give more details about his surgery when we go to preop on the 17th. Because I know itās helpful to hear about others going through this. Iām nervous too. We are all in this together.

I assume your doctor feels that craniotomy is required to fix your AVM. I would think if it is an extensive AVM, glueing up alone will not last. So, I think he or she believes you need the craniotomy and they are using the embolization to make that lower risk for you.
It isnāt worth worrying about a craniotomy. If you need it, you need it and it just has to be done. Doctors are much better at this sort of thing than ever before, so it will be fine. If you have any concerns, talk to your doctor. They should look after you nicely.
Very best wishes
