Hi my name is Robert Rowland
I'm an aortic aneurysm and dissection survivor I had my surgery 2 years ago never knew I had anything that was wrong with me and woke up in ICU 3 days after surgery back in 2017. I'm not absolutely sure if I'm on the right page or not but I've been looking for someone to talk to or other people to talk to that have gone through this and survived. If you could let me know if I'm on the right page or where I need to be would be greatly appreciate it thank you for your time

@robert6767 Hello Robert, I see that you are new to Connect, welcome!
I appreciate you sharing your story. The sudden diagnosis of your aneurysm must have been quite a shock to both you and your friends and family. If you are comfortable sharing more: Had you had any symptoms beforehand that might have been related to the aneurysm? How are you feeling now since your surgery? Do you have many restrictions now about lifting, exercise, etc.?
