Bless your heart. You are a brave lady and I admire that very much. I'm 79 and as of my last scan I'm at 4.2. I guess I'll have a better idea of how fast this thing is growing when I have my next scan. Enjoy every day and every minute of your life. As the kids like to say, May the Force be with you.

I agree with your assessment of attitude about dealing with an aneurysm. I am 84 and have CHF as well as an ascending aortic aneurysm at 5.5. There is nothing they can do for me, but given my age I accept that one of these issues will end my life. But for you who are much younger than I am, I understand your anxiety about what to do to live fully while you are alive. I have done all the research I can find on what these stages are and the most helpful and thorough was through ChatGPT, which laid out the issues at each increase in dilation and gave helpful info about how to stay as healthy as you can with kinds of exercise, spiritual practice, and attitudes to practice to keep living as fully as you can. It was so much a relief to get
this info that I couldn’t get from my doctors. Blessings to you all on your journey home.❣️
