I live in the SF Bay Area. Seeking others in this area who are survivors of TAD.
2/8/2020 will be my 3 yr Aortaversary.
I am Alive today bc I live 5 mins from John Muir Health Concord Medical Center. A Cardiovascular Institute.
Within an hour or so I was in the OR. ER. saved me, got me to the OR. OHS lasted 6 hrs.
Within 24hrs I was out of CVCC to stepdown Tele unit.
Total 6 days in hospital. No major deficits.
Ive started writing a little about the ER and all the rest.
I remember 90% of what went on that day.
Let me know if you would like to hear my story.
Is there anyone out there that lives in the Bay Area.Im live in the East Bay.
Support groups ,Heart Surgery Warriors an Survivors of Aortic Dissection , have got me through some tough times.
We are Survivors,Always WARRIOR 💪,
Kathleen
