Update for anyone interested. John's surgery went well and he should be
home
early next week. It was a scary operation but now that it's done, the
guy
ought
to be good as new for anyone who might be interested.

I guess I'm out of the loop. I've had most of the NG on ignore, and
haven't
been following a lot of the threads. What type of operation was it?

Steve


John had apparently been walking around with an Aortic Aneurysm for a
while now
and they were aware of it. After some recent changes they decided to go in
and
repair it, done, he will be home next week.

That's a big one. I have the same condition, but it has been stable for
years. It is right on the verge of operation. I hate the thought of
ANOTHER open chest operation, but there are only two choices.

Good luck to John. BTDT. The time will pass quickly into a memory, and
that memory will soften with time. I will be 8 years post op in June. A
8.5 hour surgery for 5 way bypass and aortic valve replacement.

Steve


Mine was an abdominal variety, so they didn't have to open the chest. The
incision started just below the sternum.

My aneurysm had been bumping along right at 4.2-4.3mm, but then jumped up to 4.8
in a three month period. That's when they decided an operation was called for.
