Subject: RE: aortic aneurysm



Southeast Wyoming

I agree, VERY serious.  My dad passed out one Sunday morning in 1984.  Family thought he was dead but called the ambulance.  A great neighbor stopped by and helped get him out of the house.  He made the 30 mile trip to the hospital.  Took 10 units of blood; surgeon said it was a ruptured aortic aneurysm,  "We have to operate now!"  We asked what about a second opinion because we didn't know anything about what was happening.  Surgeon said no time, go to surgery NOW or he is gone --  50/50 chance he could be saved.

It turned out it was less than 1 in 10 chance he could be saved because most patients never make it to the operating table, BUT he pulled through with the help of God guiding a great surgical team.

Cancer took him about a year later; we had a year to straighten out our relationships and say our "I love you"s.

Get it taken care of immediately.
