I posted a guestbook message for Kevin Hornaday, but it didn't show up in the feed. Not sure why….
I tried a test post to Kevin and had the same issue. 🀷

I don't know why they didn't show but thank you for thinking of me. I was beginning to think no one on this site could see me.
So those of us with history of thoracic aneurysms catch a little break…
Marie, i have one so may go out and lift 100 pounds today after hearing that. Maybe bench presses with shadow. Maybe not.
Wear that hernia truss that you got for Christmas!!
Interesting. I have an aortic aneurysm and the heart cath dr. declared my arteries "beautiful!"
My arteries were great as well. I do have a minor blockage in one peripheral artery that was not concerning. I do have high cholesterol in my family but am not on meds as of yet. Interesting article!
I also had great arteries when I had my cath. All five of my brothers are on cholesterol medicine and I'm not! Interesting.
I have never been diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm, but my arteries are clear and never any history of high cholesterol…maybe I should ask them to check while they're in there! πŸ˜… Thanks for posting this Marie!
Sue, they will undoubtedly do a heart catheterization before your surgery is scheduled so they will check prior to your surgery.
I had mine repaired in 2022. Thank you for the information Marie. You are truly an Angel πŸ™β€οΈπŸ€—
I just had it a couple of days ago Rose, and they never mentioned any aneurysms, so thanks!
Wow! That is aneurysm news that I am happy to hear 😊. I was all clear on my heart cath pre surgery tooπŸ‘πŸΌ "like a teenager's" arteries, I'm liking this description in the article 😁
