BTW, now that I think about it...nosebleeds are not even a symptom of thoracic aortic aneurysm...they CAN be a symptom of hypertension (high blood pressure)--so seems like Hope had hypertension in addition. (As I recall, he is described as red in the face, so...)
Nose bleeds would be a most unlikely symptom for a brain aneurysm...put your mind at rest ;)
Hehe. Believe, me, I knew it was not only silly, but most likely wong. And yet, while I sat wiht my friend preparing to drive to the ER because it just wouldn't stop, I couldn't help worrying. Hehe.
