I had my surgery at St. Joseph's in Syracuse NY. My recovery has been a bit of a struggle with tweaking the medications, but I am 4 months out now and starting to feel stronger. Cardiac rehab has helped a lot. I still struggle with the fear though, because my surgeon told me that even though the anneurysm was repaired, there is still a chance another one could develop above or below the site of the repair, so its hard not to be worried about that and feel like I'm "out of the woods."
