26 and just got the news

[Steve]

I am 26 years old and just found out that I have two AVM's in my brain. My only symptoms were a couple of seizures that occured three years apart. Other than that I never had a learning disability or suffered from intense headaches. I am very lucky to have found out in time prior to hemorrage. Unfortunately, I was attending school full time to become a highschool theater teacher and was only a year and a half from graduation. It has been difficult to have nearly all sense of control be taken away because I am a go out and go get type of gal. I keep telling everyone that the last place I would ever want to have surgery is my brain,(one is operable the other is not). I am completely confused because my doctor is a brain surgeon and talks like one and I have had allergic reactions to several of the anti-convulsant medicine so they are constantly changing. These sites are few and far between but in reading as many testimonies as I can I have realized the one main factor is LOVE. Everyone hold your family your god and your hope as close to you as possible and what is supposed to be will be.
