The number to determine possible intervention can vary depending on your physical size; my wife is petite so hers would be different from yours. She is doing well, so far; but her BP has to be managed a lot. Her Dr. wanted to keep it under 130/80 because high BP puts cumulative stress on the aneurism over time. She is vary active and works out 2-3 times a week. Though he did not want her to lift to heavy. She is 75.
We both use UAB; they are excellent. I would HIGHLY recommend their cardio practice. Don't know much about Simon Williamson; I assume they use Princeton??

Thank you for that info. They are at Princeton. I've been using Dr. Kirby for years, as he is a close friend. He is there too. He said no restrictions other than I can't lift anything over 100lbs.

I guess I will have to get help dragging deer out of the woods from now on. frown

Here's to champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends.

Roll Tide!
