@mazdon60 Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and for sharing your story. These things absolutely make a difference when living day-to-day with this kind of health issue. I feel a familial relationship with each person who is communicating on this site. You have to experience it with others to be able to make any sense of it. I actually had a "moment of relief" experience when mine was discovered since by that time, I knew it was genetic and that sometime along the way I would most likely have an aneurysm. Knowing is the absolutely best thing that can happen. Knowing means taking action early on. Please continue to share. Professorkrh (Karen)

@professorkrh I told my husband being diagnosed w this aneurysm is a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because I know I have it and it’s a curse because I know I have it. It’s all I think about, especially when my time isn’t being occupied, as soon as I sit down for the day, it all comes back. Im hoping w time it gets easier to live with. I’ve only known about it since 6/29/26. I guess it’s like telling a cancer patient not to think about having cancer, it’s impossible NOT to think about it. Im grateful I know and that I am being monitored but the scary part is the waiting. Take care!!
