Hi Pearl! I, too, began searching for a TAA specialist because my doc was advising me not to lift anything over 50 lbs!!!! and that he felt he and I could monitor my aneurysm until it got to 5 cm. Mine is 4.5 and, so far, stable.

Well, that did not make me sleep well at all. I took Houston’s advice and have my first appointment with Dr Estrera 6/30. That is a 4.5 hour drive for me but I can’t swing Cleveland Clinic or Mayo. I will keep you posted and,,, thanks again Houston!
