Just want to bump this up so people will remember what is REALLY important. So many petty concerns and "debates" here on Topix. Yet everyone here has experienced significant pain/crisis which should teach us empathy.

You're right. Thank you.

Hoping everyone will take a moment to send out prayers/thoughts/love to Jam and his family.

Update

The following is from my brother.His words I am doing a copy and paste job for my brother Fred.

Finallu some good news. I went to see a surgeon at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas for a second opinion. It seems that my aneurysm is not as serious as first thought. In fact I night not need any surgery at all. The details are complicated but the short version is they are going to watch it over the cousre of a year and a half doing new scans every six months if it doesn't grow or change in that time then there is no need to do anything. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and concerns. I really could feel the love.

GREAT!!!!

Just another example of doctors pushing people to have needless surgery to make more $$$$. All at the expense of the victim/patient to put them thru HELL worrying over their condition like that.
