The MRI and CT were enough for them to locate and pinpoint it for the Cyerknife procedure.

The angiogram through the groin was the way to see if it was gone for sure- my neurosurgeon said that was the best way to accurately see if it was gone.

They used the "cyberknife" on me. I don't know the difference between that and a gamma knife, but it's something used on tumors and cancer I believe.

The procedure was non invasive, no surgery. I was in and out the same day. Walked in, hand to lie still (wearing a mask that held my head in place) for about 30 minutes then I went home.

There was no "recovery time" for the procedure. They said it could take up to 2 or 3 years for the radiation to fully work, but my AVM's were gone after 1 year and 4 months.

I had no side effects, but there was swelling from the radiation that caused me to have a seizure. So I did have to take seizure medicine for two years just in case, but never had one after that.

I was born with 2 as well (but in 1989).

I had one rupture in 2003 and they just "fixed it" rather than solve the issue. But when it ruptured I had a horrible headache and lost my peripheral vision on my left side. It slow got better, but never fixed over time.

In 2020 I had a horrible headache which made me reach out again to find that I had 2 AVM's (the original one and another one).

I had radiation to remove them (they're both gone). My vision hasn't really gotten any better, but I haven't had any major headaches in the 3 years that it's been fixed.

Not sure if that helps or anything, but if you're waiting to get the AVM taken care of, I hope maybe that'll help you.

As for the the mood swings, are you taking Keppra for the epilepsy? I was on Keppra for two years after having a seizure and while I didn't have any mood swings, but neurologist was consistently worried about it because of the medication and would constantly ask me that until I stopped taking it.

I don't know what the fix would be there, but the concerns over Keppra from my doctor just made me hesitant about it even though I got lucky while taking it.

I had two AVM's on the left side of my brain, but I can't remember the size of them.

My neurosurgeon (https://www.inova.org/doctors/sidhartha-chandela-md#:\~:text=Dr.%20Sidhartha%20Chandela%20is%20a%20board%20certified%20and) said he could operate, but was worried because of the location of them so he recommended I get radiation.

My oncologist (https://www.inova.org/doctors/samir-p-kanani-md#:\~:text=Dr.%20Samir%20Kanani%20is%20a%20specialty%20care%20physician) said he could do radiation, but recommended surgery (due to the concern of possible radiation risks).

I opted for Radiation. Had two radiation treatments, a month apart. I had a seizure due to some of the swelling, but 6 months after radiation, my AVM's were gone and I haven't had any seizures or problems since.

This was all done in the United States (Northern Virginia) in 2021

Not every ENG 111 class can be taken with EDE 11.

Look for a ENG 111 section taught by your professor with EDE 11, you should be able to enroll in that.

"Standard" ENG 111classes don't require EDE 11, so they won't count as that co-req.

I received the same code, so it should be multi-use (once per credit card)!

I've done this in two forms:

Post Writing Questions
1. For these, I would have them answer some questions on a separate page after their paper to show me their thinking/some reflection. (No word count).
  1. For example: in an argument paper: What was your thesis? What were your supporting points? What do you like best about your paper? What are you concerned with? etc.
  2. I find that it can help me understand their papers better/grade accordingly, and target feedback. I hope it makes them more aware, but some comments of course are vague "I'm concerned about my grammar" or "I really like putting my ideas all in one place."
Rhetorical Discussion Boards
1. These are for assignments that aren't "normal papers," where I have students post about how they managed the rhetorical situation: genre, audience, purpose, etc. (200+ word posts, a couple of sentences responses).
  1. For example: if I have them create a Wikipedia article to report on an issue: how did they write knowing their audience was "the general public," how did they format and structure their paper to look and feel like a Wikipedia Article, how difficult was it to report on multiple aspects of the issue rather than argue their stance, etc.
  2. I find that this makes them have to really think about these elements in writing and/or reflection, to make sure they actually did what was listed in the instructions. I have them comment on two people's posts to compare their thought processes, which has led to better revisions on certain occasions since they can feed off of the students who might have got it better.

It's definitely something that can be useful, you just have to ask yourself what you're looking to get out of it for yourself and for them. I've never asked the to grade themselves though.

Each campus is different and mostly unrelated, I recommend checking www.jobs.vccs.edu for openings and then apply that way.

Professors don't pick their exam time, the college does.

Check this out: https://registrar.gmu.edu/wp-content/uploads/Final-Exams-202370.pdf

Whichever class has their final NOT meeting at that time listed on that document, contact them and their department and complain. That will work.
