THey were checking for a hernia and did 3 ctScans in less than 3 weeks to make sure that it is what it lloked like. No hernia but antoer anneurysm. I guess we are all out thru the tests of life. The Dr that did the 1st repair is very good, but wants me to be where there are a number of specialsts just in case.
