Hello!

My name is Morgan Bailey and I live in Sedona, Arizona.

I grew up in New Jersey, living there till I was about 12 years old. We moved out to Arizona and the first thing I noticed was the shitty schools and the beautiful landscape. I toured Verde Valley School and was immediately in love. This is where I went for four years, from freshman year to senior year. At the end of my senior year, we were goofing off and a friend pulled me off the theater stage. I was embarrassed more than anything but I brushed it off and went to the nurse's office. She made me look at her fingers and do a few tests but she said I was fine and on my way. The next morning was when I woke up and I could tell that there was something wrong. So I went to the nurse's office and demanded a ride to the hospital. Long story short, I have an arteriovenous malformation. Only 18 in 100,000 people have them. And mine houses 3 aneurysms.  

​

On May 30, 2021, they all decided to burst. I don't remember what happened to me for over a month. I know I had a craniotomy, which is "brain surgery that involves the temporary removal of bone from the skull to make repairs in the brain. It is highly intensive and comes with certain risks, which make it a serious surgery." I went to Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech for almost a year and a half. It was basically my job. Now, I am volunteering at the Sedona Heritage Museum, and it's amazing. I get to talk with people, chat with those who work there, and do inventory.  

​

So, that's me! That's my life right now. And I'm so grateful that you're here reading this so, please enjoy ☺️
