I pray for your recovery Jim, hope the best outcome for you.

Thoughts are with ya, RND.  Treatment options are generally very good.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in the land down under

Hey, Jim. If it's at the point where surgery is necessary, there are many great vascular surgeons and centers...and many treatment choices as daiwa said...you've got everyone's good thoughts and prayers, mine included. 

My wife, the cardiac nurse says, "If it pops, you bleed out very quickly. Not much chance of survival at that point. 

 Umm, err, ok. Thanks for the encouragement, Lisa.

I love you too.

Thanks guys for the encouragement.  I love you guys!  Really, even Jafo.

Lisa says at this point surgery is the only option.

Thanks, Seth. You're a good friend.

Quoting is fucked up. But then, so is life.

On the other hand, misdiagnosis is still an option.

It's just an Xray, for fuck's sake.

Just in case.....  See you soon Xiandi!  Love you girl!

Damn Jim! Please take care. My thoughts are with ya.

Cut the morbid crap.

Just thinking that if the plumber asks if the arteries are the blue pipes and the veins the red ones, run like hell! The sumbitch'll hook you up ass backwards and you won't know if you're coming or going!

Good to know...

Hang in there, lad...

I had a plumber once fire up my gas HWS .....instructions said 'depress button 'A' ....he said...."well, press is push...so depress must be pull...."

I cried a little.

The best Wishes from Germany…..

May the force be with you…….my thoughts will….
