How I feel Days after Aortic Aneurysm Surgery. A very intense couple of days in ICU and Cardiac Recovery Unit.
The most scary operation that lasted 5 hours in the Operating Room following 7 additional days in the hospital.
My chest was ripped open cutting open my Sternum and replacing my 5cm Aortic Aneurysm near my Aortic Root.
Talking to the surgeon afterwards he told me it was starting to dissect and my original surgery date a week later I wouldn't have made it.
I know cats have 9 lives but what do I have???
