   Good Morning to all DS folks, etc. Things are going much better since I have attempted to cultivate a spiritual connection with a higher power (whom I choose to recognize as God). I'm still a little shakey, a little feeling weird, but it's much better and feeling more hopeful. I'm on various new meds that seem to be helping my blood pressure stabilize for now. This stinks, I know . . . but we're all in this together one way or another. Thank God. Prayer is my solace along with friends and family. Gratitude a must!

   Hello Montavanni,
   Iam Rachel I saw your message in the aneurysm discussion board.It caught my interest.I am a widow for a year and a half now.My late husband had an Aorta aneurysm and had to have surgery.His aneurysm was 5cm and was located where the aorta divides off into the thigh arterys.He had his surgery and did fine.He crashed in CCU recovery,because of his COPD he had been a smoker for years and never quit.He was revived but had at least 5 strokes.
   We lost him a month later and he was constantly comfused and didnt know me all the time.
   My point is you will do fine.He was a 72 years old man ha dhighbloos pressure and was also a diabetic.He worked hard and smoked like a train,and did not take care of himself.
   You on the other hand are much younger then he was stronger and wiser.So do not be afraid surgery today is very safe.If you do not have COPD you will be alright.
   Just trust in god and he will take care of you.If you need to talk about your surgery feel welcome to.Iam here for you.
   Rachel

   I agree with Lorri,there is still life after aneurysms.Dont be sad be glad that it was found in time.Because it basicly is silent and can go undected and thats when it becomes scary.
   You have been diagnosed and know what to do to get your life back to normal now.
   Take steps now to take care of number one and get take back your life now..You will be glad that you did.
   Iam here if you need me.

   I found out that I had an abdominal aortic aneurysm when I had an MRI for back pain. The back pain was not due to the AAA, but it was fortunate that they found it. I just went to the surgeon a week ago and he said that we will monitor it every 6 mo. They do this when it approaches 5. I don't know what their parameters are for surgery. My BP is controlled now. The doctor said that they have to be more careful after 5 due to it can enlarge quickly. I am glad that they found yours. I hope and pray that you will have a good resolution to your aneurysm. God Bless You. Captain bj
