The Bear had some serious surgery yesterday, he said he'll update me as soon as he gets his toys back, hopefully in the next few days.

Yes, I was in contact with him in Oz right up until the last moments before he went in. So can only hope we are sharing a Leo at his condo sooner rather than later. One of the good guys who really does understand the big picture. I was in OZ for 2 weeks and that was 2 too many. Chock dee bear.

Hey bear, I hope you are getting the best care, and get well soon, we want you back on the forum, but first take care of you and rest up and let the hospital staff pamper you, you deserve the best. Kind regards and cheers, Rainy.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts, best wishes and prayers. Now the cat's outta the bag, best I bring everyone up to speed..... I've been having an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) monitored regularly for quite a number of years, waiting for it to achieve an optimal size that would require surgical intervention. Monitoring's no big deal, yearly ultrasound, done! Well lucky ol'me; as this year I finally hit the jackpot on the ultrasound, or better yet; 'The Double Jackpot', as during the workup to have that procedure, it was discovered a triple bypass was to be the first order of the day. That's done, recovering well and am looking at AAA surgery early in January. Iliac & aortic aneurysms are often discovered incidentally while undergoing an ultrasound for some other problem and although both Bypass'& AAA can sometimes be done together, my situation wasn't such as to allow this to happen. www.racgp.org.au/afp/2013/june/aortic-aneurysmsI've determined an Angiogram is a relatively minor inconvenience for what it may uncover. It should be every bit as important as your first age related bowel cancer test because just because you may never have experienced chest pains, shortness of breath and can step it out for 45 minutes morning & evenings, being a non smoker six years hence is no guarantee........... All the best everyone; cheers 🐻 |
