You do realize that you're lucky to be alive right now, right? Aortic Dissection is a rare and deadly condition. No, honey, I haven't gone through anything like this, I had a heart attack 4 years ago, and I have a stent in my LAD, but nothing in comparison to what you're going through. I'm so sorry. Your body is struggling to recover from the procedures you've had, and your immune system may not be very strong right now. Take good care of your health, and follow the doctors oorders and you might be feeling better in time. You have to consider what you've been through, and give your body a chance. I know it's frustrating, but hang in there. Info on Aortic Dissection: http://www.vdf.org/diseaseinfo/ad/

I had open heart surgery twice in oneday 1st for an aortic valve replacement and to have my aorta replaced with a dacron graft so that I didnt dissect like you...Boy are you lucky to be alive man!...I still go and get check ups but I dont feel unwell. Have you visited the Aortic Dissection website?...have a look there...Brian who runs it would be pleased to chat with you. Its still relatively early days for you...you will feel better a s days and months go on...you need to keep a look out for feelings of depression which are really common after this sort of thing. I wish you well...take care and start enjoying life again... http://www.aorticdissection.com
