Ok 2 fun facts about this:

1. My aorta that got replaced (by gortex) is now part of an international medical study for people who have extra large aneurysms that don’t dissect - my aorta was more than 8 standard deviations from the average πŸ˜…

2. I recovered completely narcotic-free because I grew up in the opiate epidemic and big pharma can go fuck themselves πŸ€™πŸ˜Ž

Thats super badass. I have lost more than 11 close friends directly related to narcotics/opioids. Thanks for sharing ✌️

Holy cow

Those are very big surgeries. I've worked many of them over the years.

Rushing to the OR. Early in the morning after a call that a Helicopter is on the way with a rupturing aorta.

Less than 50% survival rate. Never lost one..πŸ«‚πŸ˜Š

Root aneurysm? Do you mind if I ask what you were measuring at in mm pre surgery? How long did you know about the aneurysm before surgery?

You don’t seem to be an avarage lady to me πŸ’ƒ
