My half year update.
I'm off to Froedtert in 2.5 weeks for an echo-cardiogram and CT scan, as a follow-up to my aortic dissection last year. I still have an aortic aneurysm which they're watching. Last year they were content to wait a year before checking again.
Both my parents died from aortic aneurysms -- Dad four years ago and Mom two years since. As a result, I've been a bit uneasy about the whole affair.
If anything comes of it, I hope they work on it this year, since I blew away my deductible early this year with my hospital stay. I'm hoping I'm still okay, for awhile at least. They said it'll definitely have to be dealt with eventually. It could be as easy as putting a stent in, or, worst case, A full blown surgery like my mom went through after Dad died.
Well see...
