Title: Recovering from.
Post by: illiniray on May 28, 2026, 10:19:41 PM

AAA repair. The surgeon did a hybrid catheter / surgery on Tuesday. The recovery and ICU nurses were hot. The drugs were good.

Got home Wednesday late afternoon. Docs said I should be back to normal in 2 to 6 weeks, but I am already ahead of schedule.

This sounds like a less invasive procedure.  Wishing you a steady and speedy recovery.

Here’s to a swift recovery. Got any pictures of the nurses?

Thanks.

It's called endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). A bit more intrusive than an angioplasty. Much less so than a surgical repair

I wish I'd thought of that.

For fuck's sake Nichi. You lived through the Civil War. You can't let some stupid heart thing take you down.

All joking aside, get better soon Ray.

I was there when the Continental Army took over the airports from the British.
