New diagnosis of ascending aortic aneurysm and I’m terrified

You have a great attitude and I'm sure you know your body and its capacities better than anyone else. I'm 78 and have a different set of options to consider, one of them being not having surgery at all. I'm at 4.2 and if I remain there for a while and/or increase slowly, I think surgery would be more trouble than it's worth, but we never know until we get there, do we? Good luck to you and keep doing all the healthy things you do. You're a good example to others.

Hi Pamela, I understand your position. I would probably have a different attitude if I were 20 years older. Plus you probably will never have to have surgery, which is good. Also, in 20 years I probably won't be doing spin and intense yoga either. I do think attitude is everything. I'm really trying to be zen about it all because upsetting myself will do nothing good for me, but I know it's easier said than done. PS, I also live in Florida (I think I saw a previous post that you were somewhere on the West Coast). I am in St. Petersburg. Anyway, my prayers are with you and everyone in this crazy boat. Namaste
