Well, I went to the vascular surgeon and he said, Hmmmmm. He looked at CAT scans back to 7 years ago and said ......... " I need a new CAT SCAN. These things need precise measurement." As he talked and the way he talked I became more and more certain that he was talking surgery, sooner than later. I have had the CAT scan and I see the Vascular Surgeon again tomorrow. I suspect I will leave that appointment with some more concrete information. He did say to me that the surgery I would be looking at was the less invasive "Stent Insertion" procedure. This is a kind of a relief. There is less in the way of recovery. The downside is that there is much more follow-up.
In the mean time, for fun I had a colonoscopy! This is a part of my normal follow-up from the past colon cancer. The good news is that everything looks pretty good there.
I seems that I move from one Doctor's appointment to another. This will probably continue for a while. Aside from the actual appointments and occasional procedure this all seems to intrude on my life in a minor way. I know that if I have the Aneurysm fixed, even with the stent, there will be a period of convalsecence, but that is better than it being a fatal condition.
My attitude is good and I am physically strong and that can only help.
How are other things going? Well, I continue to fill in on Sunday Services, take event photos, write blogs, and fix computers. I just finished working on two major Community Projects. I am busier than anything. I had to stop Saturday and do laundry and work on my Sermon, there was no other time. By the way I took the above picture while on a recent job. I had to really cut it down to get it to upload.
I keep you informed about the health. Peace!
And as usual Love,
Shel
