Mamaw Jean
Jean has been diagnosed with a
coarctation of the aorta. It is long and restrictive. She has been advised to
have it surgically repaired. Probably with a "jump" procedure. Will probably be
done from the back and would not be opened up like in a normal bypass operation.
She is 61 years old and has more than likely had this all her life. We are
curious as to whether aynone else has a similar problem. We are at present
pondering the idea of surgery or not. It would be interesting to chat with
someone with a similar situation. I'm told its extremely rare in a person this
old.
