OP Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Here is the latest from the Drs. The anneurys has grown from very small to a 5, which is the ready to burst stage. The Dr asked me if I knew that it could brak at any time and I would be history, I already knew that. LOL He thinks because of the location in my lower body that he should be able to go thru my groin and repair it. WOW is that ever good news . I would be up the next day and go home but have to rest for a month. The earliest the operating room is available right now is November but if there is a cancelation, they will take me. I told him I need a couple of weeks to get a few moere things ready for winter but when he calls for me to just do what he wants to. He then told me that he heard from other Drs that I am a tough man and he like them likes it that way. I never complain or interfere with their job. Hell, I have trusted all of them and still do.
