I know, and thanks. I appreciate the support. Today should be better. It’s Friday, my early day, and very few people will be in the office.We're here for you, BSK! Whether you need to vent, get ideas, or just a hug.
Just remember, your boss will NOT protect you! In the future, create a paper CYA trail. You need to protect yourself.
Sometimes and your memes motivate me but i really really really want a mocha frappe.....
Yum yum said the bear. Get in my belly you delectable delight

See this is why lil should weigh in.Thanks for this info, H. Is this another device to store my music? I'll look into it. I do have a couple of old iPod classics, the kind with 160 gb of storage. I would have to wear wired headphones with them.
Now to your question. The second I read pain under the scapulae, I thought "aneurysm."
To answer your first question - You need to be VERY CONCERNED!
To answer your second question - No. Aneurysm formation really has very little to do with your fitness level.
An aneurysm is a weakened wall of an artery. There are several contributing factors. Men are more likely to develop aneurysm than women, smoking, high blood pressure, age. Arteries have three layers of wall. If only one or two thins, a person can develop what's called a pseudoaneurysm. It still needs repair but isn't the emergency a true aneurysm is. A true aneurysm has thinning of all the walls of the artery. This causes bulging of the vessel. Depending on the vessel involved, this could be a problem.
The aorta rises from the left ventricle (ascending aorta), goes up towards the head, then makes a bend (aortic arch) and goes down towards the toes (descending aorta). It is the main artery from the heart that feeds all other arteries. The part of the aorta that is in the chest is called the thoracic aorta. The part of the aorta that is in the belly is called the abdominal aorta.
There is a tremendous amount of pressure generated by the left ventricle to expel blood with each heartbeat. If the aortic walls are thin, an aneurysm can occur anywhere along the aorta. It's kind of like a water balloon with a weak wall. If there is enough thinning and enough pressure, a break or rupture can occur. Pain in the back is a common symptom of an aneurysm.
AORTIC RUPTURES ARE RARELY SURVIVABLE!!!
So..., you need to get this checked out ASAP. The cardiologist will get an x-ray and probably an ultrasound. The cardiologist will want to manage your blood pressure as well. If you need surgery, the cardiologist will refer you to a thoracic surgeon.
This is probably more information than you wanted. Please get this checked out soon. If you have questions, I am happy to answer what I can.
I do a bit too.... I do like that I can see my test results etc without having to wait on someone to call me
One more question @Missk_2022 & @Lilianna23 ….
Why does this aneurysm thing cause back pain? Inquiring minds want to know
Thanks again to both of you…I was on the verge of blowing this off, but made the appropriate calls this morning…now just waiting to hear back. It’s looking like I may not be able to get in until mid to late Jan
You are way smarter than me and prob a better educator.... that is why I want you to be in charge of nursing advice....I posted a lengthy response. Probably more than H wanted. There will be an exam next week!
Not sure.... it was awful..... unrelenting and I couldn't make it stop.....
Always get the worst thing crossed off the list... then go from there..... that is what we did in the er.... make sure you don't have the thing that will kill you and discharge to your doc to figure out what is making you miserable or to fix the non life threatening thing we figured out while doing tests for the super serious thing..........I do have a regular massage therapist, but haven’t seen her in a couple of months. They scheduled me for PT but don’t want to do it until the Cardio Doc gives the green light. I went by the place where I did my stress tests and they said I have to have a referral. Well, my GP put me on waivers a couple years ago (wont go into that) and so I’ve been using the local Medac for any sniffles.
. So probably wont get to see anyone before the fat man slides down the chimney I’m guessing?
Thanks so much for the advice! It makes me feel better for sure!
Not sure... thinking maybe some christmas-y eating and too much soda pop..... ugh it was awful
Proximity of the aorta to the spine..... would be my guessOne more question @Missk_2022 & @Lilianna23 ….

My dad had a Snap-On guy stop years ago to sell him tools. My dad bought some and he never got a bill. He called the company and they had no record of the guy no record of the tools or bill... nothing they were like good luck. So my dad got a whole bunch of Snap-on tools for free. He tried to pay for him offered to have somebody else stop by the house to look and send a bill they were like no worries
Wow! That's good luck. Honestly, I would have done the same thing he did and tried to pay for it. But I would only push that so far...
