NSAIDS are more effective for me than opiates ever were. It is important to realize that not all opiates are alike and some may be more effective than others.

In general, less than 5.5 cm, you should be a nonsurgical candidate, unless there is concomitant dissection. Also, depends on the location of the aneurysm. Where is yours? Good luck!

Interior ascending, sorry been asleep, the docs been keeping my systolic BP at 100-110, very tired.

^^^ Ascending aortic aneurysm, with associated chest pain. Yeah, I'm not surprised they are going to repair you. Prayers for a successful outcome and quick recovery.

GREAT NEWS, spunk!!!!

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Instead of rushing to unnecessary operation, they went over the scan again, evaluated your heart status, and found the real cause of your chest pain. I'd say, they did a very thorough evaluation. So now, it's just watchful monitoring, instead of recovering from surgery.
