mamaofami Posted January 25, 2014 #183 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Glad to hear that your DH is home and on the mend. I am just catching up on things. I knew that you had cancelled a cruise but didn't know what had happened to your DH. Thanks, KK. DH had emergency surgery for a dissected aorta. I never heard of it before. The throracic and vascular surgeon told us 60% of people don't make it to the hospital in time, and 40% don't survive the surgery. He's one very lucky man. We were supposed to be sailing for 3 weeks on Noordam starting on the 27th and I'm so grateful this happened at home and not on the ship. No one there would have been able to help him.

Thank you Carol for explaining. My DH has heard of a dissected aorta. The aorta is breaking down and can happen very quickly and when another blood vessel bursts -- you can bleed out -- and very quickly. Your DH is one VERY lucky person. You are right -- if it had happened on a ship -- no way would he have survived. Yonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the beach Posted January 26, 2014 #199 Share Posted January 26, 2014 It certainly was a miracle. How was it discovered....just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted January 26, 2014 #200 Share Posted January 26, 2014 How was it discovered....just curious... He was swimming in our community pool and came to the side saying he had chest pain and didn't feel well. The life guard called the 24/7 nurse we have in this over 55 community and she took vitals and called an ambulance and we were in the hospital in about 15 minutes. He was also complaining about bad back pain and evidently chect and back pain are signs of this. The ER doctor ordered a CAT scan which showed the dissected aorta. Since all the normal tests for a heart attack came back negative since he didn't have a heart attack, this terrific ER doctor made the diagnosis.
