I asked and they said they don't plan intervention until it has swollen to 5cm diameter.
I'm at just over 4cm at the last screening. I think they move from yearly to 1/2-yearly to quarterly monitoring.
But it's of no value if you "pop" in the meantime for sure. :(
I think if I had a 40mm AAA and money in the bank, I would be cashing in before cashing out......
My thoughts are with you as it must be a scary time knowing family history etc.
 
Little truck resting now at the steam show, lovely day and more good weather promised for tomorrow.

Having had mine checked routinely , and knowing the "heart in the mouth" moment waiting for the assessment, I cannot imagine how poop you must feel. All the very best for getting it sorted reet soon. ;)
 
Recently got back in from a lovely day in Bath, nice dins at Cote followed by a play "A voyage round my father". Very funny and that.
Got home to find for the first time ever a dog had wet the sofa, right through the cover, so two cushion covers will have to go to the cleaners! :rolleyes:

(We'll have to rememember to shut the lounge door in future.)
But hardly on the level of the flooding that others are suffering at the moment. :(:(:(
 
And as I expect I said before, although it was seen as the way back then things have changed massively. I think at 68 I am older than you so physical punishment was the norm when I was at school, but I only met one who could possibly be called a sadist, and even he never caned me. Headmaster of my prep school.
At senior school the discipline was run by the prefects. Some of them could be right sods. The typical punishment, banned now of course, was "rounds" and each round was a run around the boundary of the cricket pitch, served up in groups of five minimum and done on a Saturday afternoon. All it did was keep us fit. ;)
Yes we have had this convo before, you had it easy whilst others did not. Broken bones and scars that don't fade are not normal ways of education, yet I experienced both.
