Examined by the vascular surgeon yesterday at a private hospital in North London. This afternoon at 3pm, having an emergency CT scan. He thinks I will need to have the chest opened up to have the aneurysm repaired with a graft. He said I will need the scan as the graft has to be custom made according to the measurements found during the scan, also the heart is to be reassessed to see if it’s okay as the heart will take a hit from the procedure. The blood vessels are clamped off below the heart, then ICU afterwards. Not really looking forward to it. But everything depends on the scan and heart assessment. Then looking for somewhere for Jessica to stay during the op and post op.
