Hi everyone!
I feel like I know so many of you! I've been reading and learning a lot here in the last few months. I've admired all of you for your strength, courage, and caring for each other. I'm praying for you. The power of prayer is so strong when so many pray together.
My concerns are w/ my dad. He has been healthy until recently. He is 78, and was diagnosed w/ and aortic "bulge" (4.9) back in November. He's known about an aortic leak for the last 3 years. They only did an echo in Nov., and the Dr. said his heart is strong, and he didn't feel it was necessary to do a cath or a cat scan at that time. "See you in 3 months". Well, my dad has been feeling pretty much ok. He is still quite active, but I'm concerned that his BP doesn't seem to be under control, and from what I've read, this is not good at all w/ his aorta enlarged to 4.9 (or more by now). I would really like to find another good cardio and surgeon in the North Los Angeles area, especially a surgeon who has seen many seniors w/ this problem. We need a 2nd opinion. If you know of a great Dr in L.A., please send me a private msg or email me at [email protected]
Thank you and God Bless!
