Hi, clarkso1, I see you have not had any replies to a couple of your posts.

You may like to know about Aortic Dissection Awareness UK & Ireland. We are the UK patient organisation (since 2016) and we also work with the British Heart Foundation and others. Our web site is at aorticdissectionawareness.org and our

Facebook Buddies group is facebook.com/groups/6377674... or search FB for "Aortic Dissection UK Buddies"

A good read for those wanting to know more about the aspects of Aortic Dissection and Aortic Aneurysms will do well to look at the IRAD site for patients and loved ones, livingwithdissection.iradon...

AD can be a tough condition to experience. I had an AD myself and am at nearly 18 months after surgery, and doing pretty well. I find the UK Buddies facebook page a great place to share.

Hope this is of use to you, and I hope hubby is progressing
