About me

Dulce
From the AVM SURVIVORS web site: "Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are defects of the circulatory system that are generally believed to arise during embryonic or fetal development or soon after birth. Although AVMs can develop in many different sites, those located in the brain or spinal cord can have especially widespread effects on the body". I am currently undergoing embolizations with Dr. Wayne Yakes @ the Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, CO every 8 weeks! Our lives are either planning a procedure, having a procedure or recovering from a procedure! The trick lately seems to be to keep the "bleeds" under control! My husband Mark is also my caregiver! He has become an expert wound care therapist, not to mention all around bundle of being just exactly what I need to get through the day and this ordeal we call an AVM! I recently finished 10 years of Embolizations w/Dr. Yakes and am finally ready for my next stage - Debulking and reconstructive surgery w/Dr. Robinson in CO - he is a dentist and plastic surgeon! Best advice to an avm patient - Stay positive and surround yourself with supportive people! Lots of faith, prayer and love are all crucial too!

Timeline photos!

Sunday, August 31, 2008

Wow! FYI, I had asked Shalon if she could post the time line photos of me that were on her site, to MY site, and she did! Cool, huh? Thanks Shalon! She's amazing! I'm in such a great mood - I had taken that medicine that knocks me out, so I had gone back to sleep a couple hours! Mark woke me up to a couple of eggs in a basket - yum! Pretty soon we're heading over to moms to play games, so I'd better start getting ready!
