I'm .42mm off needing to have an aortic replacement, and I'm bricking it for want of a better phrase


even though I know the surgery will change my quality of life for the better, I've only known for a year and it's hard to digest (as you can imagine!)
At 31, heart surgery was one of the things NOT on my list to do before I was 40 but there you go



Having Marfan Syndrome diagnosed has been the 'best worst news' I've ever had if that makes sense, but it's all feeling a bit scary right now...thanks for letting me get it off my chest here (no pun intended

Please keep your fingers crossed for me that I don't come online later with a date for surgery....it really will mess up being down the allotment won't it?!
