Angelia, I can't believe you are calling me brain dead vecause I have no fear. LOL But you could be right about the brain damage. I wasn't even worried going into the second aortic aneurysm repair and still don't fear it knowing I have the bottom half og it that the Dr was afraid to touch for fear of killing me, I even execise 2 times a day and do 100 reps, each time. I make sure I don't put too much strain of the lower end of that thing tho so it doesn;t blow.
