Come join Aortic Hope's Book Reading Event on Wednesday, November 17th at 7pm EST.


Our featured author/ survivor is Kevin Morgan.


Kevin's book, Surgery Recovery Guide Based On My Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Experience, is a manual and a great tool to start a conversation with your personal physician about your recovery after surgery.


"In August 2010, I came home from the hospital having survived endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. I was fortunate to have received an abdominal aortic stent graft, which saved my life. To be honest, I was in a state of shock. Everything went so fast, from Ironman triathlete to aortic aneurysm patient in a matter of weeks.


My problem was that I needed guidance and inspiration from someone who’d been there before. In fact, I really needed this manual, which would have helped me to handle my fear, taken me to helpful resources, and put me back on track with my Ironman training without all the concerns I suffered at that time and subsequently."


This Manual Provides:


- Advice on reclaiming your new life based on personal experience.

- Some assistance with emotional recovery.

- Help with your fears.

- Guidance on safe exercise for better health.

- Homework to get you going again.

- Valuable links via my blog at fitolddog.com to supportive and informative resources.

- Someone to talk to.


Most importantly, you'll learn that you are not alone.


You may watch and listen to Kevin read a portion of his book on our YouTube channel.
