I forgot to mention that last week we took Vic to get a second opinion on the amazing cured brain. They concurred. He still wants him to have another angiogram in 1 year and he still thinks he should have the cyst fixed. Fixing the cyst is still a major surgery, they cut skull out and he has to be in the hospital mim. 5 days...but they don't have to dig IN the the brain. Just on the outside of it cause that's where the cyst is. And the cyst is not life threatening like the AVM was. We are still just ridin' the high of the AVM being gone and don't know if he's going to fix the cyst yet. He says he probably will, but nothing definite and it will not be immediate. The reason he wants to fix it is because he can feel the pressure in his head & it's effecting his speech & memory slightly and that's what they think the seizures have been from. But they aren't sure and they don't promise it will fix these issues, so that's why we don't know what we are doing. But in any case, we are both so thankful that the worst part is gone...now we can focus on the lesser of the two evils which is now the only evil :)!
