MOYAMOYA

I haven't wrote on here for awhile. I have read a lot of the stories on the wall and wow! First off I want to say hello to everyone. I also want to ask everyone to take a moment and realize no matter how hard this seems....YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I know we all probably get to our points where we think we are or where we think no one understands.....But there are people who understand. My life hasn't been the easiest since my carotid artery collapsed last year. It's been an ongoing process and nerve wrecking ordeal. I look at it though and realize....I am still here. My carotid artery collapsed while I was pregnant with my son. I was alive and did not stroke out thanks to those temporary little collateral veins and a wondrous miracle. I have issues still and boy do they bug me but the last month I realized something. I can't live my life being constantly scared that I won't live to see my family grow. Reason being....I am missing what I do have right in front of me. My son just turned 1yr on Oct 6th. That is an amazing feeling to know that I made it. And guess what....I am going to keep on pushing and fighting and I am going to take this life by the horns to truly live! I may have Moyamoya but Moyamoya does not have me! Love to all
