It is such a scary situation. I went through many phases of dealing with it. After you get established with a doctor, just do what you're told, take your meds and it gets checked every 3 months until it's time for surgery. I really try to focus on staying busy with my life, animals, home and friends. Lindy

@lindy5285 yes I noticed that when I don’t have anything going in my life I get more stress and think more about it. So I learn to keep my self busy and thanks to my 13 yr old daughter I’m always busy.

@lindy5285 how big is your aneurysm? Mine is a 4.6. I only found out about it a few months ago. But I know about the phases that you go through. I’m 68 but now I’m afraid to do a lot of things because I don’t want to cause it to burst. I still exercise but I’m afraid to do certain things now. Let me know how you’re doing.
