Follow the doctors instructions and try to relax. I had the same problem at 76 years old and had it taken care of by surgery at Mayo in Rochester. That was 10 years ago and I'm still Here!! The surgery was a breeze (the first major surgery I ever had) and recovery went very well. Am sure you will be fine so try to relax (I know that easier said than done) Wishing you relaxation and peace. You Will Be Fine!!

Thank you so much! I’m so glad to hear everything went well and that you’re doing fine following that surgery. If you don’t mind my asking, did they do the surgery when your aneurysm measured below 5cm? I was told I had to wait until it was five or greater before they would repair it. i’m the kind of person that wants a problem fixed as soon as I find it. So waiting is a challenge. I really appreciate you getting back to me.
