    WTF ? Why has my PF8.6 grown a "Buy Now!" toolbar button that I cannot remove? Is this part of the new Customer Elimination Program? After years of upgrading I'm uninterested in v9, it doesn't fix the bugs I see & no features I need & NOW I'm considering deleting it.

    Folks, keep yourselves healthy. If you have blood pressure problems in your family or heart attacks, get checked and get your blood pressure down. You don't want to have an aneurysm. Take it from me, it is not fun!

    Life is short. I was a whisper away from dying. OK, so, death is near, I might live 25 more years. Or not. I could die tonight. THAT focuses the mind and makes death less abstract and more immediate. I think about this every day, especially when planning things.

    Here are my instructions from the docs for living: Keep the blood pressure down, keep the weight down, exercise. My safe diet is water and lettuce, and I'm not sure about the lettuce. Everything else is a tradeoff, eat less. Kidneys are still a mystery.

    Second, accept that you change as you age. My thinking has been to not condition myself by thinking that I am "old" but that needs to be tempered by the notion that we change as we age. I'm older but don't feel old. But I see that I'm going to be visiting docs from now on.

    I've had plenty of time to reflect on what I've learned this past year. First, the men in my father's line all had heart problems at my age. So, pay attention to that, I think we were expected to last only so long so we worked ourselves hard for our families's sakes.

    I can do extended periods of focussed programming work at my desk, maybe 3-4 hours, then I need a break before I go back to work. So, I'm just doing little pickup consulting jobs as I don't think I can commit to full time production work and people only seem to hire FTEs.

    My overall stamina and ability to draw from physical reserves has suffered a lot. At first walking for more than a few minutes was a chore and it took months to work back to where daily life was possible. A year has passed and I'm not yet back to my old level of energy.

    When they sent experts to talk to me about diet I was already 95% there and had been for 30 years. Hardly any red meat, low fat, lots of veggies and low salt. I am now on a near zero salt diet. So, maybe 30 years of a great diet saved my life? I want to do better.

    My kidneys have suffered and seem to have been damaged in the past, but definitely made worse by the aneurysm and possibly by the "contrast" they injected in me to help with the CT scans. I'm short of needing dialysis or a transplant, but that is an ongoing concern now.

    My recovery has been slower that I supposed. The year before the aneurysm I was gaining weight and feeling generally worn out, but attributed it to other life issues. From the aneurysm until months after the surgery I had no appetite and lost over 20% of my weight.

    When I woke up in the ICU, they constantly did tests to be sure that my brain was talking to my limbs, and I clearly passed all of those tests, I'm glad to say. Second, the kidney function was worrying but in a day or two my renal functions came back strong.

    I went in for surgery, there were some issues with the spinal tap so they had to redo it, then they found even more damaged arteries, so it went on for five hours or so. My apologies to my family for that! And my thanks to Dr. Gleason and his surgery team at UPMC Shadyside.

    Second, and I believe this is a general issues for this kind of surgery, damage to the spinal column nerves can cause neuromuscular damage, showing up as paralysis. Chances were thin (5%) that this might happen, but it still bothered me more than anything else.

    This kind of operation involves making a small incision on the thigh and inserting the stents into the artery, then making openings in the stent wall where blood feeds the organs. There were two dangerous bits here. First, the aneurysm had cut off flow to one of my kidneys.

    Type B is not immediately fatal. I was hospitalized for 9 days and went home to recuperate for over a month or two. Unfortunately, a later CT scan showed that the damage had not healed but had spread and that I'd need a stent put in to help the damaged artery.

    My understanding is that aneurysms occur either in the head or chest or belly. Mine was in the chest, in my thoracic artery, a main heart artery. If you have a "type A" you go immediately into surgery to attempt to save your life. Mine, however, was the "type B" kind.

    An aneurysm is like stretching a bubble on the artery wall. In my case the blood was entering the inner wall of the artery and not making it to the organs in my trunk. It was painful and unpleasant and meant an ambulance, extended stays in the ICU and a number of CT scans.

    I'm not a medical professional and so what I say might be very incorrect and you should definitely talk to someone that knows about cardio-vascular medicine if you are having problems or need accurate info. My goal here is only tell a story that might help a few people.
