size is 4.8, aorta, i exercise a lot, do lite lifting in my exercise, monitor my BP, drink very little alcohol, and continue what i have always down , only in moderation, i am 78, feel like 50, and try and watch my weight. Now that spring is here , looking forward to gardening, biking, golf etc. L have talked with 3 Drs and they all say the same. When i first found it i said lets do the operation, but was advised that operations have consequences and just watch it. Having my next scan in may, so hopefully i can continue my summer golf etc.

Hello @cobweb,

I hope that @staystable reads your post. It sounds like you are doing wonderful and taking good care of yourself. You have made a good case for living a healthy lifestyle! What type of scan do they use to check the aneurysm, is a CT scan or something else?

I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you post again after your scan in May and provide an update?

I also want to know how your scan goes in May. I’ll have an echo cardio gram soon .
