Excellent newsWell Dad had his AAA operation on Friday......and no one on the ward believed he was not in his 60's he is actually 81 on 13th June, no one believed he as over 70....he is really proud of this.  ...no stopping him now.The operation he had is not usual in people his age, this is brief of the Op.. surgeon may place a stent-graft into your aorta. A stent-graft is a graft placed over an artificial piece of rigid tubing called a stent. This is a recently developed technique and isn't suitable for everyone. A small cut will be made in your groin and the stent-graft will be passed up inside one of your leg arteries until it reaches the area of your aneurysm. The stent will be positioned so that your blood vessel is repaired and the aneurysm is protected from further pressure. This method doesn't involve open surgery. However he had the Op Friday 9.00am and guess what he came home yesterday 4.00pm......because he was up and about and eating etc......he's out in the garden now..........guess thats where I get the get up and go from...... Oh and as he was leaving the ward almost disolved into tears, this Op is life saving for my Dad as his aneurysm had increased. Sophie(16 year old niece) went to pick her Grandad up with her Mom (my sister) and my Mom...and Dad pointed out the Consultant Mr Kira to her and Sophie without prompting...went over introduced herself and shook his hand and said "Thank you for helping my grandad....we all appreciate it more than you know, Thank you" The nurses were choked as was Mr Kira..........
