Tornado Alley (PROG)

[Koog]

I think it was that large artery that control the blood to my legs and feet.

Yep, the aorta. I have not had the symptoms of coldness or inability to walk yet but my Doc says it won't be long based on the ankle brachial index test he ran.

I see a vascular surgeon later this month for further tests to see where the block(s) are. If I need surgery, I hope it is a stent and not an aortic bypass which is a lot (LOT) more serious surgery. Time will tell.

How long did it take you to recover from the aortic stent? Meanwhile, I gotta get off the ciggies.
