I'm glad you fared better.
So sorry to here that about your fiancée. The loss was more than I can imagine for you. I do know how lucky I am. Providence saved me.
My Doctor told me that if this had happened to me 10 to 30 years in the past, I would have been a dead man. Back then with X-Rays, when they saw the mass, the would have biopsyed it to see if was cancer. The biopsy would have burst the aneurism and I would have died.
The doctors think I have had this for 20 to 30 years. It finally got big enough to give me seizure. They were suprised that I was still alive when I told them I scuba dived in '77 and in 2002. '77 dives 30 to 60 feet, 2002 was twice to 50 feet. Year before last I did the reverse bungy at the county fair. 0 to 70 mph in 1 second.
Grayed out on the way up, got red out at the top. Doctors think the red out should have killed me.
Now they tell me no SCUBA for 5 years and only after CAT scan and angiogram. No bungy ever again. Heck, I am not allowed to fly comercial for the next couple of years. Never sky dived before, always wanted to. Sky diving is restricted same as SCUBA.
