Thank you so much. I am amazed at the kindness I have found here and the kindness demonstrated in your post. I sincerely appreciate the time you took to reply.
I love that your cardio answers your questions and is direct with responses. I have been with my cardio since my first afib episode 20 years ago and feel a level of attachment but man, all of those vague responses to some of the most important questions I’ve ever asked in my life is a huge bummer.
How are you doing since all of your surgeries?

I’m doing great thanks, I started exercising again a few months after surgery, carefully as the sternum and in my case my leg took time to heal sufficiently. 5 years on I’m doing great, I’m very active and exercise 4-5 times a week, fairly intensively. Took early retirement and am trying to enjoy life with my family as fully as I can.
We, the ones that found out we had the aneurysm before it became an emergency, have to feel fortunate, we can monitor, plan and prepare before it becomes an emergency. This forum has a few people that went through dissections and survived, the majority of people don’t, most of them didn’t know they had it until the emergency happened.
As I said before, you will be ok, yours is small and you can track its growth (if it does) and plan
Keep yourself healthy, listen to your Drs and ask as many questions as you need!!
