Glad to hear he was able to get the procedure he needed and seems to be finding a path and happiness post NFL. 

Like Harris, I was diagnosed with an AVM. Mine was about 12 years ago. I ended-up having it surgically obliterated @ The Mayo Clinic. That is truly one amazing place. Forever grateful to them.

Wish the best for Mike Harris with his health and new career!

I can relate well to the AVM issue.  Mine was diagnosed in a routine screen for another potential issue.  Thus far I have not had any neurological symptoms and will have mine surgically fixed on Sept 26th.

great read on Mike,  wish him nothing but the best with the rest of his life.

but what are the odds that 2 of the first 3 people to respond to this story on a relatively obscure web site have had this same "rare" medical issue that affects less than 1% of the population?  thats crazy.
