Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Stent Graft: My Second Decade as Athlete With Stent, and Still Having Fun!

2 Comments
Here’s my spare Cook Zenith Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Stent Graft – Thank You Cook Medical, for everything.

Well, here we go, training for the Florida Ironman, November 7th., 2021. It’ll be really tough with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). But what’s a little pain versus amputation or sitting in a wheel chair all day? Yes! Exercise is helping to keep my vascular diseases at bay, combined with a largely plant-based diet and learning new things.

Current obsession? Learning how to write novels well. Novels that might just make a difference to the avoidable animal cruelty of factory farms and excessive meat consumption, both of which contribute to climate change.

Forget retirement and a slow boring death, have a life, I say.

Have fun!

This is why you need to exercise: Just look and learn. See how fragile the bone is in the unexercised legs; it’s not just the muscles that decay away.

    Hi there

    such a joy to read about your attitude to life. I had a aorta aneurism in October 2016.
    I live with my stint and love every second of my new chance in life.
    I too would love to write novels.
    I have published nine books with different subjects.
    I would love to hear more about your books.

    all the best
    Svend-Erik Engh

      Hi Svend, never thought I could write a novel, but when I started the characters took over. You just have to start. kev
