Hi @cerebellarstrokespouse I have had an AVM involving the cerebellum, the same part of the brain when one drinks so my balance is affected. I get dizzy with motion sickness. I have no cognitive deficits only physical. Because there are not many survivors, much is unknown. The doctors have no definitive treatment. So basically I have been learning on my own by trial and error for the last 4 years. Improvements are possible. Recovery is difficult but a very slow process. Each case is different. It seems your husband has made an amazing physical recovery. Perhaps there is therapy available to help cognitively. Would a speech therapist help with that? I would research where to get cognitive help then tell your doctor to write the order for your husband to get an evaluation. I hope this helps with your search to find answers. I wish you both well.
