I talked to the Vascular Surgeon after the tests today.

He said that the arteries in my lower extremities have remained open and faired very well since the procedure 4 years ago.

The AAA however has grown. Not enough to need any action at this time, but it has enlarged a small bit.

Recheck in a year is the plan.

If it wasn't for the fact that I would probably fall over from Oxygen starvation, I would dance a fine Irish jigg.

I think I will just relax in my chair instead .

Next Doctor on the 23rd.

I want to thank everyone for keeping my in your thoughts today.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author

I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
