Anniversary

as is the tradition of this blog i must commemorate the anniversary of the day that i simultaneously discovered that i had an avm on my brain stem and stopped smoking. it has now been 9 months, but it feels like forever. i can barely remember what my life was like, what i was like, before that fateful day.

things have changed dramatically, some irrevocably.

stopping smoking is one of the best things i have ever done for myself and although having an avm on my brain stem is the worst thing that has ever happened to me, having it discovered in time - before it hemorrhaged - is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. so, today is a good day, today is a good anniversary.
