Thanks. Wasn't a fun thing. She had two aortic aneurysms. Surgery on the first in 2021 which she barely survived. She decided not to have the second one operated on, and of course it blew up. Dad died from the same thing 3 months before her surgery. Both were heavy smokers prior, so I'm convinced that was a factor. Dad quit smoking after a heart attack 20 years ago, but she kept smoking even after her surgery.
I just survived an aortic dissection, which is something different and evidently rare.
