You can get a 2nd opinion. Do it soon.
If your doctor says no watchful waiting, I would just do it.

I dissected, it's scary as hell

God bless

Oh my goodness… I am SO sorry to hear that you experienced dissection. I can’t imagine. So incredibly scary. But you made it through, which is amazing. What a miracle.
Thanks for your encouragement for getting a second opinion and proceeding with surgery if recommended (I strongly suspect the surgeon will say I should do it)… although I can always hope for “watchful waiting”… but then, that scenario has its own set of anxieties!
