In May, 2016, my cardiologist had me get an abdominal ultrasound to check for a possible aneurysm. They found one but it only needed monitoring. June of this year, they repeated the test and it appeared to be larger, so they had me go for a coronary CTA (Computed Tomography Angiogram) in August. It showed the aneurysm was about 5.3cm. So, off see a surgeon last week to see what happens next.
I'll be getting a AAA stent tomorrow (9/13), if the schedule holds. I'm waiting for a call from the hospital to tell me when to arrive. If all goes well, I'll get to go home the day after surgery but will be taking it easy for a while.
Thoughts, prayers are appreciated.
