I have an AAA as well. It was first discovered in February of this year.
5.2cm.
In August, I’ll get another scan and evaluate.
My vascular surgeon told me at 5.5cm I’ll need surgery.
Either stents or opened me up from ribs to pubic bone to repair the abdominal aortic aneurysm.

I’m walking daily 2-3 miles.
I eat clean. Pretty thin.
Sleep deep almost every night.
Still in love with my beautiful wife of 50 years in October.
Do childcare for three of my grandchildren. 1-2 days in the summer. (All home for summer.)
11, 9 and 6. So much love! ❤️
I also Play golf each week.

I was told not to lift 50 pounds or more. Straining…

This 70 year old man has a wonderful life. So…I pray it doesn’t get bigger, and pray if it does, that my amazing vascular surgeon will repair it! ✌️💕🏌🏿‍♂️💪🏻
