My wife, the cardiac nurse says, "If it pops, you bleed out very quickly. Not much chance of survival at that point. 

 

 Umm, err, ok. Thanks for the encouragement, Lisa.

I love you too.

Lisa says at this point surgery is the only option.

Quoting is fucked up. But then, so is life.

On the other hand, misdiagnosis is still an option.

 

It's just an Xray, for fuck's sake.

Cut the morbid crap.

Just thinking that if the plumber asks if the arteries are the blue pipes and the veins the red ones, run like hell! The sumbitch'll hook you up ass backwards and you won't know if you're coming or going!

I cried a little.

Luckily, he didn't just sit there and heap insults on the button. Might have thought insults would depress the button.

Good luck Jim.  I was recently diagnosed with an enlarged Aorta and spinal stenosis.  Aging is impacted by what we accumulate over the years.  I am taking a statin now, blood pressure medication, and a muscle relaxant.  I have also lost 30 lbs.

I see a neurosurgeon this week.

I plan on living for many years longer because I really enjoying annoying people.
