On Monday night 12:00 , On an Adominal aneurysm on the aortic 5.5 started leaking into the kidney. The best news they got it in time and just got home. Had a great doctor that went into the groin and fixed it. A CT scan around noon showed no problems today around noon. . Yes i was very lucky.
Had an emergency surgery

It’s a good thing you live in the US. There’s a 6 month wait for that surgery in Canada.
Trad could have performed this surgery. He slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
EVAR is an amazing procedure compared to the "old" way. Happy to hear you made such a quick recovery.
That is a scary story. Glad it has a happy ending!
Damn, where'd he get the procedure? I'm going to that place.
Endovascular. They also can do endovascular valve repairs now. Pretty extraordinary stuff and has been awesome for patients in terms of recovery.
Heal well, now you have an excuse to sit around and watch football all weekend.
Who needs an excuse to do that?
nothing, no symptoms, Ct scan . They have been watching this for 7 years when they first found it 3.1 and checked it twice a years. It grew to 4.9 one month ago and wanted it checked Monday before i leave for Florida next week. That sucker grew last the last month and had a slight rupture, tear.
The evil liberal media has lead me to believe that’s often a problem in hetero relationships.

Mrs. Tradition is a realtor (no pics unless you're buying or selling a house).
She's gone all day on weekends so she's not a football widow.
Holy smokes! Glad you got such good treatment and are on the mend.
"Leaf season" is in the spring here at Tradition Manor.
Central Florida is wonderful.
No issues for me.
Absolutely. Sitting around watching Iowa @ Wisconsin is sure to be stress free...
I hope the Hawks punk 'em.
It looks like no golf in Florida this year with many of my friends from the north., oh well, NBD.
Close but no cigar could best describe the Hawks' season so far, but I do hope they prove me wrong on Saturday!
Holy shit!
Yeah, you'll die from one of those things rupturing within a minute or two.
Good catch!
How'd they first find it?
CT scans aren't "typical" unless you're in for something else.
Okay, CSB time.
I had an IHG Rewards account and one particular Holiday Inn property pissed me off really bad. The internet didn't work. Okay, shit happens. Then I came back a few weeks later. The internet didn't work. Okay, this is bullshit.
So, I stopped staying at Holiday Inns for a few years (this offending property lost their flag, BTW).
Anyway, my company booked a conference at a Holiday Inn property in North Carolina and everyone was expected to stay there on the "corporate rate".
Upon checking in, the clerk asked me if I wanted to sign up for IHG rewards. I figured my old account was trashed because I hadn't stayed with them in so long, so I said, "Sure, why not?" and she signed me up.
The next week, I got a nastygram from IHG rewards BANNING ME from the program for creating more than one account. And they were nasty about it.
They can ESAD! This is how you treat your loyal rewards customers? FOAD, IHG.!
Glad you’re going to be OK. Scary stuff. I just had a screening for that last Thursday. My youngest uncle died of that at 41 in the 1960s.
Would assume the screening ultrasound recommended for all men 65+ who are/were smokers. Typically CT angiogram needed to assess candidacy for EVAR.
