today Ulrich and I visited a special clinic to get our cardiovascular systems preventively checked, something we had both been wanting to do for a long time although for different reasons. in my case i was worried/curious after my father’s aortic dissection, wherein the cardiologist mentioned that my father’s aneurysm had likely begun to form anywhere between 15-20 years before the fatal event. and in ulrich’s case, a history of chronic atrial fibrillation and on-and-off bouts of chest pain had led him to worry that his heart and arteries were falling apart.
This reminds me. I probably should book a full body check up some time this year. Glad the kidney cyst was benign!
