making things the way i would have wanted them

so for the last week i have been thinking about what i would have wanted around the time of my surgery from my doctors and other caregivers that i did not get or think could have been done in a way that helped my healing. . obviously i am not a doctor so i am really focusing on the emotional sides of things. . and the one thing that keeps coming back in my head is a support group for young people that have had or are about to have open heart surgery. .. to be able to see a 29 year old who had open heart a year ago and is now doing everything he or she could want to do would have helped me a lot. .. .i am currently working on a sort of proposal for the people i know at the hospital i went to. .. .to make this a reality. .. .. .ill let you know if it succeds. ..i have a feeling that this will come with a need to raise some capital. .. .. we shall see

aortic aneurysm websites

so lately i seem to always be on the lookout for interesting or helpful thinks into all things aortic. . i recently came across this site and while the woman is older than i was. . our stories are fairly similar. . i didnt have any real symptoms. . at least not ones which were consistant with my condition. . but it was found and operated on within a week. . i dont remember being scared then. . but i have had my fair share of sleepless nights. . its been about 7 months. . and i cant complain a bit. .

i also saw this site today. .which is full of links to some useful information. .
