My Accenting Aortic Aneurysm was 5,3 cm in March. I decided getting surgery from Dr. XYDAS, Mount Sinai Hospital Miami. The best decision in my life.
I'm 79 y. female, no underlying conditions.
7 weeks later, I'm 99% recovered. Feel just a bit tension on my chest. Still being careful of course, not heavy lifting etc.
The scar is almost invisible.
What Geniuses are in this team, like a miracle.

It's so encouraging to hear success stories like yours, especially as I'm now 79 myself. I'm not at the threshold for surgery yet and I ask myself whether, if I get to 85, I'd be too old for a good outcome. Any oldsters out there who can share? I guess if there's no sharing, there are no survivors, which is an answer in itself. I'm not making my mind up now, of course, but if I'm even older than I am now, do I want to have a long, painful recovery just to come home and listen to more classical music?
