I had no clue I had one. I had a routine echocardiogram because I told my dr I didn’t feel right. So glad I had it. It was 7.5 cm, had not dissected but they kept me in hospital and scheduled me for surgery. I am what they call their miracle superstar. I have had a great recovery process. May 13 makes me 8 weeks post surgery. I had no other complications and feel blessed that my team at IU Health Ball was so proactive.
