Is this what you're thinking they'd consider using on you next time for the abdominal aneursym?

Not sure what Dr. Sanofsky has in mind. All I know is that I can't endure another major surgery.

Guess that rules out any more C-sections.
My youngest son's father-in-law had this done a few months ago. He has some congenital heart problems including an undersized left ventricle. Like with you, a major surgery would have been a very bad idea so they went this route. Even so, it was more involved than a heart cath and it took a few weeks before he started to feel normal again. He is 63. At the time I was thinking that it could be an answer for you as well. Would you ever be a candidate for a heart/lung transplant? It would probably take a long time for your lung problems to damage your new lungs to the extent it would be real noticed by you. I think I asked you this before but I don't know that you ever really answered it.Ross said:

They told me at Cleveland that I would not be a transplant candidate because the lung disease would just start in on the next pair of lungs.
Then again, even if I could, I don't think I'd make it through.
