My AAA aneurysm

When I lie down on my back and reach across my abdomen a bit to the left side, I am able to detect my heart beat quite easily. In February of 2023 I found out that I can do this so easily because I have a Triple-A aneurysm there -- an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. This is a ballooning of the aorta that comes down from the heart on its way to the legs and the lower body. Because it is rather large as such things go, we know that it is old and likely growing pretty fast now. Of course, the problem with balloons ballooning is that they burst.

Since looking at that likely near future entails its own problems, I have been rather preoccupied by those since February and have only now, in early March of 2023, come to a personally peaceful resolution of the problems. One problem for me is just letting others know what's happening with me, and so I'm starting the blog to do that, and to offer those who are interested in knowing more a chance to find out by reading as much as they like of the posts I intend to make subsequent to this first one.
