Hi,
I was diagnosed with thoracic aortic aneurysm 11 years ago at 3.7cm. 5 years ago I was at 4.0cm. Now I’m at 4.7cm. So I feel the need for surgery is coming in about 5 years too. I am currently 51.
My grandfather had an abdominal aortic aneurysm. I was at his home when it ruptured and he died at 62 years.
I am anxious about the waiting and have also thought of a medical bracelet. I like your term mindful preparation and the other lady who shared her medical necklace and ideas.
Grateful to you all and this community.

I ordered a medical bracelet as soon as I was diagnosed. It's like a talisman if nothing else. I always expected to get heart disease; it runs in my family. But no one that I know of ever had an aneurysm. This whole business is very scary and this group will help keep you grounded.
