To set some ground work. Our younger sister in 14 or 15 can NOT recall exactly was dropped by an aortic aneurysm-DEAD before she hit the ground. And Ross and I found out these things Are can be hereditary. So within a week Ross and I took a ride in an MRI. At that point mine was Nothing to fret about Fast forward to 5 sep 2024 after I had been in the MRI on 4 sep. My new to me LPN saw something she did not like so on 19 sep I'm back in the MRI and it was determined my aortic aneurysm had enlarged to 5.1 sentimeters or a smidge over 2". I am now scheduled on 24 sep to have a stent put in thru the groin area. I will spend 1 night in hospital and then go back home. These things are called Silent Killers fer a reason. The dye used on 19 sep warmed me up All Over. Also on 24 sep Ross-daprez is having I believe his left hip replaced at The Great Lakes Naval Traing Center Hospital. These dates just happened to coincide by sheer luck or pure accident. Ross and I have already outlived Dads years so both of us feel fortunate to still be suckin wind and RIDING!

Just MAYBE I can eke out a few more years on this green orb we call Earth and Home. RIDE SAFE.

These ALEs and OXLAMs then go on to cause mitochondrial dysfunction, which is a hallmark of most all chronic disease. In addition to oxidation, inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction, processed seed oils can also:
