July 28, 2005 - I was scheduled for about 4-5 hours of surgery to remove the AVM from my left temporal lobe. About 8 hours later, I left the ER, headed back to the recovery room, suffered a stroke from a clot, was rushed back into surgery for another 2 hours.

July 28, 2011 - Six years later, and here I am!

As perfect as perfect can be…my Great Friend! Congratulations! To anyone who read’s Jake’s blog…Keep the Faith! Jake is a great person for our AVM Survivor Friends to receive positivity!
