Good luck on your surgery! I envy you a little because you only had to stress about it for a few days. I have had my aneurysm for over 10 years and worried about it since it was discovered. It has grown to the point that I now need surgery, and it is this week as well. Here’s hoping we both have a quick recovery!

I wish you the best in your recovery from your aneurysm surgery. Mine was tough but I got up and walked the next day and every day thereafter. Walking was key to a good recovery so get up and move every hour or so. I found I could do 10k steps after about 2 weeks and it really helped. Also, be sure to baby that upper body for those first few weeks after surgery... follow doctor's orders!
I am a year out from surgery and am back doing all the things I love with one less health worry!

WOW! So glad you are able to have surgery and move forward with your life. Please keep me posted as to your progress. Keeping you in my heart and prayers for a smooth successful surgery and secure reapid healing. Of course I am praying for God to guide and steady the hands of your cardiothoracic surgeon as well.
