25Survivor

:oops: Had an AVM bleed (ateriovenous malformation) located in

cerebellum 25 years ago at age 28. Had four other

surgeries including a tracheotomy, gastrotomy, pseudo-

menigecele, and a lumbar peripinal shunt. Now at age

54, I have symptoms that include dysarthic speech and ataxia on my right side. (my typing is very slow)

Am currently writing a book "THE BRAIN TRAIN" about

my stroke rehabilitation in San Diego. Now live in

FLA and wish to finish book in cooler environment. Body

thermostat is not working properly. Have Facebook

page--more of a reading platform due to having double

vision-remedied by wearing prism glasses.
