Hello my AVM Friends!
I was thinking of doing a blog just so i can read back on my journey as i am very forgetfull! haha.

Has anyone done this before? Whats your thought on this and if you have one could you give me your link!? I would love to read about your journey....

I put this under general but i feel it will also raise awareness!

I have a blog - but channel it to a focus - or at least trying to anyway to more business-like topics that border on creative - trying to see if there's a theme of some kind - in any case, totally unrelated to AVM - it's really just for a creative outlet and release; however my family wrote on what's called CarePages for several reasons including to track my play-by-play and all of their emotions.

I think that writing can be very therapeutic for you and can be a great way to document your experience - believe it or not, there are details that you might need to reference, too.

In my case, I was in a coma for about 3 weeks post crani; it was very interesting to get another perspective while I was lullabying...plus I see pix on the website now and come to new realizations, etc.

That sounds like a great idea, Lynn. It would be great thing to look back on, and to see how far you've come since your AVM/procedure. It would be a great thing for readers who may be looking for something to relate to.

I've never kept a blog - sometimes I wonder what I have to say is interesting enough. I've written poems about my journey, which I hope to get published sometime in the future.
