Well, thank you for the reply. I'm sorry I erred. I am having endovascular repair. I mistakenly called in endoscopic. Some good news. I'm Covid negative Thank God for small blessings. Also had a blood typing. (O Positive). That's because the surgical team will have blood on hand, so I was told. I reckon that's so if the whole thing goes south and endovascular suddenly turns into open repair. Reckon that also explains why the ventilator that I'm told will be used. That's a bit more involved than the cardiac angiogram I once had. (Long and troubling story involving broken rib and chest pain). That was with a local and I got to watch dye diffuse through my arteries. Whee!!!!

Surgery is Thursday. One day in hospital if all goes well. Anyone have experience getting back to a vigorous normal after endovascular AAA repair?
