Ok...
I have had enough of this pussy-footing around by my cardioligist #2 who I had thought was to be my saviour ...
2 opinions and both dont seem to put the same importance or urgency on this aorta of mine as me or anyone-else I have spoken to for that matter...only my hubby and mum agree with them.(and their biased they dont want me in surgery if it can be avoided)
I however know the reality of the situation that at 4.8 I am right on the cusp of being in mortal danger from this and if it goes all of a sudden which they have a tendency to do apparently. I also have an abdominal aneurysm which is alot smaller than the above-mentioned one.
I would much prefer to join you guys on a quick trip over the mountain and onto better things with my new clicker and hose in place.
These guys reckon that if they put a new bit in a old body it will encourage other bits to get aneurysms and blow because my system has adapted to my heart as it is...they reckon I'll be fine for many years to come. I however do not feel very confident with their decision.
So what do you guys reckon...should I look for #3 opinion or should I try emailing the experts in aortic surgery over in the Eastern-states ( its a cheap 4hr plane trip...is that safe?)
any and all ideas appreciated
