Nah it's not to personal. Considering that 1 is in the arch of the aorta I'll likely be put on medication because when there are aortic arch aneurysms,blood pressure usually rises significantly. As for any repair or removal,they are still relatively small (3.2 centimeters & 2 centimeters) so we are going to be adopting a wait and see procedure. The usually don't worry about removing/repairing them until they are about 5.5 centimeters.

Starshine I am so happy to hear that you are not in heart failure. But I know the wait and see part is very hard too because that is how I am with the aoritic valve replacement. One thing it does do is make you not plan too far into the future and to appreciate what you have and what you can do with each day. I figure that each day that I can get up and move around and live a realitively normal life is a blessing. I find it also makes me both more tolerant and less tolerant. I tend to be more tolerant of the small things that used to bug me and don't sweat the small stuff anymore but less tolerant when I see stupidity and carelessness of people wasting their gifts and their health. Anyhow today is a good day so I am smiling for you and praying that tomorrow will bring more of the same. Stay strong. Hugs
