Good News Prayer 2

I had a contrast cat scan yesterday. Met with a heart surgeon today. The cat scan showed the aneurysm to be some smaller than the original ultrasound. It is still of the size that it needs fixing. They are going to insert a device similar to a stent up both groin arteries. They will then place them together. It is called an endovascular graft. Will take about 2 hours and then a couple days in the hospital, if all goes well. Should get a date for this tomorrow. Recovery time 1 to 2 months. Still scary to me but better than opening me up. I am sure this is more information than you want.
Thank you all for your prayers and support. You will never realize what this means until you are a recipient. Again I thank you my friends from the bottom of my heart. Blessings. Bill
