People with heart issues

[One Bad Pig]

I have an aortic aneurysm in the ascending thoracic aorta. I'm going to have to get open heart surgery soon to get it replaced. It's at 5.7 cm. It's pretty scary. Any prayers would be appreciated.

I have the same condition. It's not as large, so it's just being monitored at this point, but it's still unsettling.

And for those above as well.

Like Shuny both sides of my family have history of heart disease -- especially on my father's side.

I come from a family with a long history of heart problems in men beginning in their 40's ad 50's. My uncle died at 45, and my brother at 54. My father lived longer but through technology. I did had a stint at 69, and no real problems. The main difference between my Irish family and I is life style. I lived a disciplined life of exercise including Martial Arts ad healthy diet, ad my family did not. I am 72 and still have a rigorous physical schedule and do a 2.5 to 3 hour workout 3 to 4 times a week, garde extensively, and still work as a carpenter and handyman.

to all that face these health problems.

I have had a heart stent put in a year ago. In fact I am going to my cardiologist for my 1-year check up this afternoon. It's pretty scary.
