Hi BFORALLTODAY,

Joe's results are still at 4cm. We go back in 6 months again. So far so good I say.  The doctor said it has to be at least 5 before they will do surgery.

My husband snores so bad. It is getting worse and very loud. I think he needs to go see an ENT, but he is so stubborn.  Maybe I can bring it up when we go for the ultrasound results. He sleeps on his stomach and face down! My dog even snores, but sometimes he is too much for even her to stand.

Take care.

Linda

HI Linda

Oh I hear you, Mike's was a result from years of undx high blood pressure damage, he also has severe sleep apnea and has an enlarged heart (conjestive heart failure) he's the type of man who buries his head in the sand ... won't ask the drs any questions and they surely have held back info. I'm going with him to his next cardio appt to ask many questions. Mike's only 45 so this is pretty scary, the surgery is soooo dangerous with his other problems so the drs just want to keep this AAA from growing ...... hard to see this happening with his sometimes uncontrolable HB ........... here's hoping 2009 is better than 2008 :) hang in there

It's good to know someone else has to do the watch and wait game. This has been going on for a few years now but they keep saying it is not big enough to do surgery.  I just don't want it to do any harm or cause him to die like I keep reading about.

Keep warm.

Linda
