I am really sorry that you have to deal with all of this. I had glue put in my head for an AVM 24 years ago. I was so petrified to have the surgery, I was 39 years old but fortunately they could do it through the artery. The doctor said to me, it’s your choice where you want to have a bleed out either in the hospital surrounded by specialists that can hopefully save you or out on the street alone which would most likely be fatal. Of course, I chose the surgery. I have always stayed away from anything that strained knowing that is when your arteries are stressed. I stopped lifting weights at the gym and went to swimming etc. No one told me to do that, and I think they should at least warn us of those possibilities, but I remember prior to my surgery I was told not to strain in the bathroom, not to lift, keep your blood pressure low, try to keep your stress level low, etc. because these things put pressure on your arteries. So far, no complication but I’m told that the glue could slowly wear away, they didn’t know that at the time. Even though I was told I was cured that always stuck in my mind. I really wish you well these decisions are very hard. Keep us updated.
